Methods and systems of performing preemptive generation of second factor authentication

摘要

A method includes prompting, by a first application installed on a client electronic device, a user to install a second application on the client electronic device, and prompting, by the first application, the user to authorize preemptive sign-in to the second application. In response to receiving an indication from the user to install the second application and receiving an indication from the user to authorize preemptive sign-in to the second application, the second application is installed, and a two-factor authentication code that authorizes the user to sign into the second application is generated. The method includes sending a message to the second application, launching the second application, and automatically signing the user into the second application without requiring the user to provide the two-factor authentication code or any other form of second-factor authentication.
