  • Publication number: 20250048114
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed including receiving an electronic access request to add a secondary electronic profile of a secondary user to a primary electronic profile of a primary user. A processor generates and sends a first security challenge to the primary user and a secondary security challenge to the secondary user. The processor receives a response from the primary user in response to the first security challenge and a response from the secondary user in response to the secondary security challenge. The processor authenticates the electronic access request based on the first response being a valid response and the secondary response being a valid response. The processor generates the secondary electronic profile as a nested profile within the primary electronic profile. The processor instructs the primary user device or the secondary user device to display a confirmation of the secondary user being added to the primary electronic profile.
