Abstract
A system, a medium, and a method are provided to split data paths among various devices in data communications system. In some instances, the server device receives a request from a remote device such as a website server or a checkout device, where the request indicates a user request to purchase one or more items. An account management component of the server device determines a user account associated with the user request and identifies a user device associated with the user account, such as the user'"'"'s smartphone. An authentication component of the server device generates an electronic message that indicates that the user must authenticate the request such that the request may be processed and initiates a transmittal of the electronic message to the user'"'"'s smartphone. The user may accept or authenticate the request to process the request. As such, a communication interface of the server device may receive user data from the user'"'"'s smartphone in response to the transmittal of the electronic message, possibly to process the request.
