Abstract: A method and apparatus for time-based one-time password generation using a wireless communications device for two-factor authentication are described. The computer-implemented method comprising detecting launch of a security code generation application on a wireless communications device, generating a first unique security code upon launching the application, displaying the first security code on the wireless communications device, determining based on time whether to generate a new unique security code, and displaying the new unique security code.

Abstract: A system and method for automatic authentication includes automatically calculating a security code on a computer running a security program. The security program resides on the same computer as a web browser. In response to a user signing into a web based account on a web site accessed by the web browser, automatically verifying that the security program is registered with the web based account. In response to a second factor security code entry request on the web based account, automatically entering the security code into the web based account. The security code is transmitted to the web site transparently to the user for login.

Abstract: A method for authenticating a user includes receiving a user identification, confirming the user identification, sending a request to the user to perform a single action on a communication device, creating a session to receive the single action from the communication device, receiving an identifier from the communication device, using the identifier to verify that the user has the communication device, and authenticating the user based on the confirmed user information and the verification that the user has the communication device. The identification can include a username and a password or can be a one time password.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for providing contextually relevant support information. In one embodiment, a server provides a web page over a network that includes one or more help indicators. The web page and the help indicator are shown to a user in a window of a graphical user interface of the client device. When the user selects the help indicator, the support system receives data indicative of user help requests from the client device. In response to receipt of a support request, the support system generates a response based on a current context of the web page. In one embodiment the response is provided to the client device for display over an area in the window of the graphical user interface without obscuring or disrupting content displayed by the web page.
