Abstract
A technique for hardening the entry of user credentials in web sites is described. A headless web browser authenticates the user to a target web site with credentials previously stored in a secure database, and generates a session cookie. The headless browser provides the session cookie to the user's web browser, allowing the user to continue the session established by the headless browser.
