Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to method, system and apparatus for multifactor authentication exchange using out of band communication to authenticate a user while defending against the man in the middle attack. In an exemplary method, the disclosed principles provide a multifactor authentication (MFA) exchange, which includes: receiving an authentication request through in-band communication from a first device associated with a user to authenticate the user, the authentication request including a first authentication factor to identify the user; generating a second authentication factor, the second authentication factor further comprising an authorization token; generating an encryption key to encrypt the authorization token and a redirect Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address; and communicating the second authentication factor, the encryption key and the redirect URL address to a second device associated with the user.
