SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENROLLING A TOKEN IN AN ONLINE AUTHENTICATION PROGRAM
An online transaction system configured to implement authentication methods that allow for strong multi-factor authentication in online environments. The authentication methods can be combined with strong security methods to further ensure that the authentication process is secure. Further, the strong multi-factor authentication can be implemented with zero adoption dependencies through the implementation of automated enrollment methods.
