  • Patent number: 11397802
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for authenticating a user to reset account login credentials associated with a non-network-connected generator computing device. The generator computing device is programmed to receive a first user input requesting to initiate a reset of account login credentials, generate a challenge code, set a timer, display the generated challenge code, and receive a second user input. The second user input is a response code generated at a services computing device associated with a services provider. The generator computing device is also programmed to verify that an amount of time elapsed between generation of the challenge code and receipt of the second user input is within a predefined time limit. The generator computing device is programmed to generate an expected response code, authenticate the user by comparing the received response code to the expected response code, and reset the account login credentials.
