Abstract: A hybrid authentication system, method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for single-sign-on (SSO) authentication via multiple authentication options is provided. The hybrid authentication system includes control circuitry communicatively coupled to a web application server and a public ledger. The control circuitry receives a request from the web application server to access secure content on a resource server and controls display of a set of user-selectable options on a user interface of a user device based on the received request. The control circuitry selects as an authentication scheme one of the web-based authentication scheme and the wallet-based authentication scheme and further controls authentication of the request based on the selected authentication scheme. The selection of the authentication is based on defined security criteria or a user input via one of the displayed set of user-selectable options.
