Claim:
Non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, enable a computing device to perform a method of managing access to secured data, the method comprising: identifying a user device associated with a user, wherein the user device includes a Near-Field Communication (NFC) chip; receiving a user input of a user name and password at the user device; detecting a close proximity between the user device and a physical identifier that wirelessly communicates credentials to the NFC chip of the user device when the close proximity is detected; subsequent to (1) receiving the user name and the password and (2) receiving the credentials from the physical identifier, (1) automatically generating a unique token for the user to access secured data through a virtual application requiring the unique token, and (2) automatically communicating the unique token to the virtual application that is to be accessed such that no user intervention is required; and granting the user device access to the secured data through the virtual application.
