Zusammenfassung:	An MFA/2FA system 50 in which a computer 52 is tasked with implementing RPA functions. To achieve secure log-in to a server 54 that provides a gatekeeping function to data required for or deliverable by the RPA functions, a security bot 58 having an independent address is initially authenticated as a valid secondary device associated to a different address of a specific task-executing bot 56 that performs certain RPA functions. A token generating algorithm 62 providing synchronised tokens relative to the server 54 is linked, during a set-up procedure, to the address of the security bot 58 such that, when the task-executing bot is challenged by the server during log-in, a token 74 can be obtained by the task-executing bot 56 from the token generating algorithm 62. The task-executing bot 56 is arranged to supply, i.e., insert, the token 74 as a reply to the server to validate the computer's credentials and open a secure session authenticated by MFA/2FA.
