Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for securing authentication procedures includes (i) monitoring, by a third-party security application, to detect reception of a second factor authentication token as an input to complete a second factor authentication procedure in connection with a second application that is independent from the third-party security application, (ii) verifying, by the third-party security application, whether or not the second factor authentication token was transmitted by a valid server in coordination with the second application as part of an authentic version of the second factor authentication procedure, and (iii) performing a security action to protect a user account based on a result of verifying whether or not the second factor authentication token was transmitted by the valid server in coordination with the second application as part of the authentic version of the second factor authentication procedure.
