Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling multi-factor authentication for a web-based account. A first computing device and a second computing device are accessible to a first user. A backend system is accessible to a second user. The backend system communicates with the second computing device via a secure communication network. The first user creates a web-based account and receives a MFA initiation screen including secret information and a field for entering at least one TOTP token. The backend system has a TOTP token generator. The second computing device captures the secret information and transmits it to the backend system. The second user generates at least one TOTP token using the backend system and transmits the at least one TOTP token to the second computing device. The first user enters the at least one TOTP token into the first computing device. The account can then be validated and MFA enabled.

Abstract: An actor is associated with a role, a policy type is associated with the role, and a role scope is associated with the role. One or more values are received for one or more corresponding context parameters associated with the actor. A request for access to a resource is received from the actor. A policy instance is determined based on the policy type and the one or more values for the one or more corresponding context parameters associated with the actor. One or more actor-role scope values are determined based on the role scope and the one or more values for the one or more corresponding context parameters associated with the actor. A response to the request is determined based on the policy instance and the actor-role scope values.
