The goal of the 4Passwords Authenticator is to efficiently and securely use online or offline cached One-time Passwords (OTP’s) across many devices. The One-time Passwords are shared and stored within a Thycotic On-premise of cloud based Secret Server.
The 4Passwords Authenticator & Secret Server enables organisations to implement One Time Passwords everywhere
One-time Passwords, short for (OTP’s) are also known as Google , Microsoft, TOTP Authenticators, and or as MFA, Multi-factor, 2FA, Two factor Authentication keys. One-time password provide an additional security layer for your login with a password.
All One-time Password techniques do in principle the same: During an authentication process the server requests a client enter a Two factor response challenge. The server will calculate a number based on a shared key and the current time. As the client and the server both hold the same key and if the time on the client and server are in sync then the client and server can generate the same number if they both hold the same key. The client can then respond correctly to the Two Factor challenge without exposing and or communicating its key across the network. only the result is communicated
