First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a first client computer communicatively coupled to a network and configured to receive and transmit an authentication credential selected from a plurality of authentication credentials comprising;
a first authentication credential known only to a user;
a second authentication credential identifying a client computer; and
a third authentication credential identifying a characteristic unique to the user;
a second client computer communicatively coupled to the network and configured to receive and transmit at least one additional authentication credential selected from the plurality of authentication credentials; and
a server computer communicatively coupled to the network and configured to;
receive, from the first client computer, the authentication credential;
receive, from the second client computer, the at least one additional authentication credential; and
verify the identity of the user via a match, within a database communicatively coupled to the network, to the first authentication credential, the second authentication credential and the third authentication credential.

Abstract
Systems and methods of the present invention provide for a first and second client computer configured to receive and transmit an authentication credential and at least one additional authentication credential respectively. The authentication credentials may be selected from authentication credentials known only to a user, identifying a client computer and/or identifying a characteristic unique to the user. A server computer communicatively coupled to the network may be configured to receive the authentication credentials and verify the identity of the user via a match, in a database, of a first authentication credential, a second authentication credential and a third authentication credential.
