Publication number: 20240007472Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for bypassing secondary tiers of authentication for particular security categories. An authentication system, when authenticating a user, may receive an authentication request with authentication data enabling authentication through a multi-tier authentication mechanism. When the request has been authenticated through a multi-tier authentication mechanism, the authentication system may identify a category associated with the request and generate a temporal unlock flag for that category of future requests, such that the temporal unlock flag indicates that multi-tier authentication is not required for a predetermined amount of time for requests of that category. The temporal unlock flag may be inserted into the user's record. When future requests of that same category are received, only a single-tier authentication mechanism may be required for authentication.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Geeta SHYAMALA, Lee ADCOCK
