SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A SECURED PASSWORD AND AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM FOR PROGRAMMING AND UPDATING SOFTWARE OR FIRMWARE

Abstract:

Systems and methods for providing a secured password and authentication mechanism for programming and updating software and firmware are provided. Some methods can include receiving, by a control panel device, a first user input requesting a onetime token; generating, by the control panel device, the onetime password and transmitting the onetime token to a server device in response to receiving the first user input; receiving, by the control panel device, a second user input including the onetime token and instructions; and executing, by the control panel device, the instructions when the onetime token is valid in response to receiving the second user input.
