  • Algorithm hardening in background context and external from the browser to prevent malicious intervention with the browser
    Patent number: 10560450
    Abstract: A disclosed example to batch replace credentials for multiple websites includes accessing mappings between first encrypted credentials and corresponding ones of the websites; decrypting the first encrypted credentials using a master key to generate a plurality of first decrypted credentials; providing ones of the first decrypted credentials and corresponding ones of second decrypted credentials to corresponding ones of the websites to batch replace the first decrypted credentials with the corresponding ones of the second decrypted credentials at the corresponding ones of the websites; generating second encrypted credentials by encrypting the second decrypted credentials using the master key; and storing the second encrypted credentials in a database.

  • Algorithm hardening in background context and external from the browser to prevent malicious intervention with the browser
    Patent number: 9979717
    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.
