Patent number: 11770474Abstract: Methods and systems described in this disclosure receive a call from a caller, generate a first session through a first channel associated with the caller when the call is received and then send a request for authentication credentials to a device associated with the caller. In some embodiments, sending the request for authentication credentials generates a second session through a second channel associated with the caller. The caller can be authenticated to the first session using communication received during the second session through the second channel.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Michael Justin Cairns, David Alexander Lilley, Robert Bruno Pace, Jr., John Raymond Harris, Joshua Samuel Leonard, Yuibi Fujimoto, Kevin Kenneth Fiedler, Michael W.
