1. A method for accessing secure content from an unmanaged web browser on a managed user device, comprising:
sending, from the unmanaged browser to a server, a request for secure content, wherein the server is part of a unified endpoint management (UEM) system to which the managed user device is enrolled, and wherein a managed browser extension is installed on the unmanaged browser, the managed browser extension being managed by the UEM system;
prompting a user for authentication credentials in an instance where the request is redirected to an identity manager;
when the credentials are authenticated, receiving, by the managed browser extension installed on the unmanaged browser, a first session token and a temporary token from the server or the identity manager;
sending the first session token and the temporary token from the managed browser extension to a managed application on the managed user device;
validating, by the managed application at the managed user device, that the first session token was received from a trusted source;
sending the first session token, temporary token, and a second session token to the server, the second session token having been obtained by the managed application upon enrollment of the managed device with the UEM system; and
receiving authorization to access the secure content.
