1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, by a mobile gateway from a mobile communication device, a time window specified by a consumer during which the consumer does not have to re-enter a passcode for each transaction after a payment application in the mobile communication device has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode, the time window including a start time point and an end time point;

    receiving, by the mobile gateway from the mobile communication device comprising the payment application over a first network, a validation message that includes an indication that the payment application has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode, an account identifier, and a timestamp when the passcode was entered into the mobile communication device;

    storing, by the mobile gateway in a database, the validation message including the indication that the payment application has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode, the account identifier, and the timestamp when the passcode was entered into the mobile communication device;

    receiving, by a payment processing network, a first authorization request message comprising the account identifier from a first access device over a second network, after the first access device interacts with the mobile communication device during a first transaction;

    querying, the mobile gateway by the payment processing network, to determine if the consumer'"'"'s passcode has been validated;

    searching, by the mobile gateway, the database using the account identifier received in the first authorization request message from the first access device;

    determining, as a result of searching the database by the mobile gateway, that the validation message associated with the mobile communication device has been received indicating that the payment application has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode;

    determining, by the mobile gateway, that the first transaction is occurring within the time window after the timestamp;

    receiving, by the payment processing network from the mobile gateway, the indication that the payment application has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode has been received, and a determination that the validation message with the indication that the payment application has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode has been received and that the first transaction is occurring during the time window;

    modifying, by the payment processing network, the first authorization request message based on a determination that the validation message with the indication that the payment application has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode has been received and that the first transaction is occurring during the time window by including the indication that the payment application has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode in the first authorization request message to form a modified first authorization request message;

    transmitting, by the payment processing network, the modified first authorization request message to an issuer computer for authorization;

    receiving, by the payment processing network, a second authorization request message from a second access device, after the second access device interacts with the mobile communication device during a second transaction, and wherein the consumer did not re-enter the passcode into the payment application to conduct the second transaction;

    determining, by the mobile gateway, that the second transaction occurs within the time window;

    receiving, by the payment processing network from the mobile gateway, the determination that the second transaction occurs within the time window;

    modifying, by the payment processing network, the second authorization request message based on the determination that the second transaction occurs within the time window by including the indication that the payment application has verified the consumer'"'"'s passcode in the second authorization request message to form a modified second authorization request message; and

    transmitting, by the payment processing network, the modified second authorization request message to the issuer computer for authorization.
