Aspects of the disclosure relate to preventing unauthorized access to secured information systems. A computing platform may receive, from an end user desktop computing device, a request to login to a user account associated with a user account portal. In response to receiving the request, the computing platform may generate an authentication token in an authentication database and may send a notification to at least one registered device linked to the user account. After sending the notification, the computing platform may receive, from the at least one registered device, an authentication response message. If the authentication response message indicates that valid authentication input was received, the computing platform may update the authentication token to indicate that the request to login to the user account has been approved. After updating the authentication token, the computing platform may provide, to the end user desktop computing device, access to a portal interface.

Preventing unauthorized access to secured information systems using authentication tokens and multi-device authentication prompts

Systems for dynamically authenticating users are provided. A system may receive a request to access functionality. In response to the received request, an authentication grid may be dynamically generated. The authentication grid may include a plurality of fields, each identifiable by a field identifier, and including one or more characters that may be used to authenticate a user. The authentication grid may be transmitted to a computing device of a user. A character for authentication may be identified by the system. In some arrangements, the system may generate a request for user input including a character appearing in the authentication grid. The user may identify the field and input the character appearing in the field. The system may receive the requested character and may compare it to the identified character for authentication. If the received character and the identified character match, functionality may be enabled. If a match does not exist, functionality may be disabled.
