Abstract
A system that uses multi-factor authentication while retrieving information is described. During operation, the system requests and receives multiple authentication factors from a user of an application on a first host. These multiple authentication factors are associated with a document on a second host, and include authentication information that enables access to the document. Furthermore, the system uses the multiple authentication factors to access the document. While accessing the document, the system retrieves information from the document by navigating through the document, identifying the information, and aggregating the information.
