1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program that, when executed in at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to at least:

  • authenticate a first application executed on a first computing device to access a user account on a network site based at least in part on a trusted security credential received from the first application, the first application providing at least one visual cue indicating that a first current network page is legitimate;

    send a bootstrap security credential to the first application that has been authenticated;

    display, by the first application, a first user interface containing the bootstrap security credential and a site verification credential;

    display, by a second computing device, a second user interface configured to receive the bootstrap security credential from a user and present the site verification credential; and

    authenticate a second application executed on the second computing device for access to the user account on the network site based at least in part on the bootstrap security credential being manually entered in the second user interface and received from the second application in an authentication request that excludes the trusted security credential, the second application omitting visual cues to indicate a second current network page is legitimate.
