Abstract

A method enables a user to self-identify to a user support system when a user electronic device is connected to the user support system by an over-the-top (OTT) communication session where an OTT messaging service provides an anonymous identifier to the user support system to enable communication with the user. The method includes receiving a secured real identifier and a secured token from the user electronic device in response to a user selection to self-identify to the user support system, decrypting the secured real identifier to determine a real identifier that identifies user account information at an external system, determining the anonymous identifier for the user using the secured token in a manner that associates the real identifier with the OTT communication session, and sending the real identifier to the user support system to enable access to the user account information by the user support system.
