Preventing Unauthorized Access to Secured Information Systems Using Authentication Tokens and Multi-Device Authentication Prompts
First Claim
1. A computing platform, comprising:
- at least one processor;
a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and
memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to;
receive, via the communication interface, from an end user desktop computing device, a request to login to a user account associated with a user account portal;
in response to receiving the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal;
generate an authentication token in an authentication database; and
send a notification to at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal;
after sending the notification to the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, receive, via the communication interface, from the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, an authentication response message;
if the authentication response message indicates that valid authentication input was received by the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, update the authentication token in the authentication database to indicate that the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal has been approved; and
after updating the authentication token in the authentication database to indicate that the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal has been approved, provide, to the end user desktop computing device, access to a portal interface based on the authentication token in the authentication database.

Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to preventing unauthorized access to secured information systems. A computing platform may receive, from an end user desktop computing device, a request to login to a user account associated with a user account portal. In response to receiving the request, the computing platform may generate an authentication token in an authentication database and may send a notification to at least one registered device linked to the user account. After sending the notification, the computing platform may receive, from the at least one registered device, an authentication response message. If the authentication response message indicates that valid authentication input was received, the computing platform may update the authentication token to indicate that the request to login to the user account has been approved. After updating the authentication token, the computing platform may provide, to the end user desktop computing device, access to a portal interface.

1. A computing platform, comprising:
-
at least one processor; a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; and memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing platform to; receive, via the communication interface, from an end user desktop computing device, a request to login to a user account associated with a user account portal; in response to receiving the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal; generate an authentication token in an authentication database; and send a notification to at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal; after sending the notification to the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, receive, via the communication interface, from the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, an authentication response message; if the authentication response message indicates that valid authentication input was received by the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, update the authentication token in the authentication database to indicate that the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal has been approved; and after updating the authentication token in the authentication database to indicate that the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal has been approved, provide, to the end user desktop computing device, access to a portal interface based on the authentication token in the authentication database. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method, comprising:
at a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface; receiving, by the at least one processor, via the communication interface, from an end user desktop computing device, a request to login to a user account associated with a user account portal; in response to receiving the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal; generating, by the at least one processor, an authentication token in an authentication database; and sending, by the at least one processor, a notification to at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal; after sending the notification to the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, receiving, by the at least one processor, via the communication interface, from the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, an authentication response message; if the authentication response message indicates that valid authentication input was received by the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, updating, by the at least one processor, the authentication token in the authentication database to indicate that the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal has been approved; and after updating the authentication token in the authentication database to indicate that the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal has been approved, providing, by the at least one processor, to the end user desktop computing device, access to a portal interface based on the authentication token in the authentication database. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface, cause the computing platform to:
-
receive, via the communication interface, from an end user desktop computing device, a request to login to a user account associated with a user account portal; in response to receiving the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal; generate an authentication token in an authentication database; and send a notification to at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal; after sending the notification to the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, receive, via the communication interface, from the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, an authentication response message; if the authentication response message indicates that valid authentication input was received by the at least one registered device linked to the user account associated with the user account portal, update the authentication token in the authentication database to indicate that the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal has been approved; and after updating the authentication token in the authentication database to indicate that the request to login to the user account associated with the user account portal has been approved, provide, to the end user desktop computing device, access to a portal interface based on the authentication token in the authentication database.
