Techniques are described for accessing an account on a public device. In some implementations, an audio message is received from a portable computing device, requesting to establish an account access session between the portable computing device and the public device. A first communication based on the audio message is sent from the public device to a backend server. The backend server analyzes the first communication to determine whether the portable computing device is authorized to establish the account access session. A second communication is received from the backend server, indicating that the portable computing device is authorized. In response, the account access session is established between the portable computing device and the public device, wherein the account access session is employed by an application executing on the portable computing device to access account information associated with an account of a user of the portable computing device.

Multi-factor authentication based on audio message

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for secure logon. One or more method includes: determining, via authentication information provided by a user of an electronic device, that the user is authorized to access an online account provided by the online account provider; providing the user with a selectable option to enable an expedited logon process by which the user can access the online account by solely providing a particular authentication item of the user; receiving a verification credential in response to a next logon attempt using the expedited logon process; and verifying that the received verification credential matches an assigned verification credential provided to the user for use in conjunction with the next logon attempt using the expedited logon process.

Systems and methods for secure logon

The disclosure describes a scalable, risk-based authentication system including a plurality of fraud monitoring engines configured to: analyze user data and organization data, and generate a set of risk factors based on the user data and the enterprise data; a risk aggregator in communication with the plurality of fraud monitoring engines configured to: receive the set of risk factors, and transform the set of risk factors into risk indicators; and an authentication engine configured to: receive the risk indicators from the risk aggregator, and generate an authentication plan for a requested activity based on the risk indicators and the requested activity.

Scalable risk-based authentication methods and systems

Techniques are described for performing multi-factor authentication of a user during a service session, based at least partly on a code conveyed using an audio file. A code is generated that corresponds to the user and/or their user device. A playback device that is registered to the user can be used to output a playback of an audio file that encodes the code. The playback of the audio file is conveyed through the service session by the user device and received by a backend server, which analyzes the playback of the audio file to extract the code. The user can be authenticated based at least partly on verifying the code that is extracted from the playback of the audio file, by comparing the extracted code to the code that was generated and sent to the playback device.

Audio tokens for multi-factor authentication

Various embodiments of the present invention generally relate to identity authentication and/or recognition. Some embodiments provide a method for determining when a user may engage in a restricted activity, including engaging in an initial contact with a user via a medium for exchange, receiving a request to engage in an activity, determining an activity trust threshold required for the activity, determining an initial identity trust score for the user, and comparing the initial identity trust score with the activity trust threshold. Based on the comparison, the user is either allowed to engage in the activity, rejected from engaging in the activity, or additional identifying information is collected.

Dynamic risk engine

Methods and systems for verifying a user's identity on a computing device using two-factor authentication are described. More particularly, the system utilizes a personal identification number input by a user, together with one or more of a secure browsing feature, a device fingerprint, and a token generator to authenticate the user on the computer.

Quick-logon for computing device

Methods and systems for verifying a user's identity on a computing device using two-factor authentication are described. More particularly, the system can use a personal identification number input by a user, together with one or more of a secure browsing feature, a device fingerprint, and a token generator to authenticate the user on the computer.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for authenticating a first computing device to access a secure account. Receiving a request from a second computing device to be authorized to access the secure account. Providing, to the second computing, first data that represents a first machine-readable code for presentation by the second computing device. Receiving, from the first computing device, second data that represents a second machine-readable code as read by the first computing device. Authorizing the second computing device to access the secure account in response to determining that the second data accurately represents the first machine-readable code as sent to the second computing device.
