Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for authenticating computing device users are disclosed. An example method includes, providing, on a display device of a computing device, a graphical user interface (GUI) including a user authentication display portion and receiving, from a remote authentication server, visual content and functional content corresponding with the user authentication display portion. The method further includes receiving, via the user authentication display portion, a set of user credentials and communicating the received user credentials to the remote user authentication server. The method still further includes receiving, from the remote user authentication server; an authorization message indicating whether or not authentication of the user credentials was successful. In the event authentication of the set of user credentials was successful, the user is granted access to the computing device. In the event authentication of the set of user credentials was not successful, the user is denied access to the computing device.
