Techniques are described for managing authentication tokens associated with a secure account maintained by a business or organization. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes storing interaction information associated with an account maintained by an organization, wherein the interaction information includes information about authentication tokens used during a plurality of prior authentication procedures performed for the account, receiving, over a network, a request to authenticate a user to access the account, determining, based on the stored interaction information, an authentication token to be used to authenticate the user, wherein the authentication token is different than a prior authentication token used during the plurality of prior authentication procedures performed for the account, presenting a prompt for the authentication token; and determining, based on information received in response to the prompt, whether the user is authorized to access the account.

This disclosure describes techniques for authenticating a person that seeks to engage in a voice call session with a call center agent, an interactive voice response system, or other system. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes storing information associating an authorized device with an account; receiving, over a network and from a device operated by a user, authentication credentials for the user; determining, based on the authentication credentials, that the user is authorized to access the account; receiving, over the network and from the device operated by the user, a request to engage in a voice conversation; responsive to receiving the request, accessing the phone number associated with the authorized device; and initiating a voice call session by placing a call, over the network, to the phone number associated with the authorized device.
