Abstract
An approach is provided for securely authenticating an identity of a user participating in an electronic transaction. A request for a biometric identifier/security question is converted to a first Quick Response (QR) code. Based on user attributes and a request from the user's mobile device to a computer to initiate the transaction, the first QR code is disassembled into first and second portions. The first portion, but not the second portion, is sent to the mobile device. Responsive to the mobile device receiving and converting the biometric identifier/answer to the security question to a second QR code, and disassembling the second QR code into first and second portions, the second QR code is reassembled. The transaction is authorized based on whether the biometric identifier/answer matches a data repository record.
