Patent number: 10489565Abstract: A user device operated by a user receives a compromise alert indicating a potentially compromised use of first access data associated with a user. The compromise alert enables the user to input a response to the compromise alert, where the response can indicate that the first access data is compromised along with a request to issue new access data for the user. The response is sent to a server computer, which then initiates a process to disable use of the first access data and generate the new access data. The new access data is transmitted to the user device. The user can utilize the new access data to request access to a resource.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventors: Penny Jurss, George Perry, Joseph Vause, Joseph Parvis, Joseph Chouinard, Gloria Mai, Matthew Wick
