Patent number: 11954187Abstract: Aspects described herein may relate to techniques for detecting login activity to a financial account during a knowledge-based authentication process. The login activity may be related to access to an online interface for the financial account. The detection of login activity during the authentication process my indicate that the integrity of the authentication process is compromised as login access may provide an individual with transaction data that may be used to answer transaction-based authentication questions. As a result of detecting login activity, an alternative authentication process may be initiated or an authentication request related to the financial account may be denied.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Joshua Edwards, Samuel Rapowitz, Jenny Melendez, David Septimus, Daniel Miller, Viraj Chaudhary, Tyler Maiman, Vyjayanthi Vadrevu

Patent number: 11954192Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improving computer authentication processes using vocal confidence processing. A request for access to an account may be received. An authentication question may be provided to a user. Voice data indicating one or more vocal utterances by the user in response to the authentication question may be received. The voice data may be processed, and a first confidence score that indicates a degree of confidence of the user when answering the authentication question may be determined. An overall confidence score may be modified based on the first confidence score. Based on determining that the overall confidence score satisfies a threshold, data preventing the authentication question from being used in future authentication processes may be stored. The data may be removed when a time period expires.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Joshua Edwards, Tyler Maiman, David Septimus, Daniel Miller, Viraj Chaudhary, Samuel Rapowitz
