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.
