FIG. 2 shows an MFA/2FA system (50) in which a computer (52) is tasked with simultaneously implementing one and generally many robotic process automation "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 a specific RPA function. 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 (74) 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.
