Abstract

A system for managing multi-factor authentication of a user includes: one or more source components for obtaining multi-factor authentication data by one or more of: receiving multi-factor authentication data via a network; generating multi-factor authentication data using an algorithm, and a user providing multi-factor authentication data; a routing component for associating the multi-factor authentication codes from the one or more source components with an appropriate user account; a database comprising multi-factor authentication data wherein components of the multi-factor authentication data are stored in association with a particular user account; and one or more delivery components for providing the multi-factor authentication data to a user on a user device.

Claims (24)

1. A method for a user receiving multi-factor authentication messages comprising:

providing a virtual phone server including one or more virtual phones hosted thereon, the one or more virtual phones associated with one or more telephone numbers and configured to receive multi-factor authentication messages transmitted to the one or more telephone numbers upon request of the user, at least one of the one or more virtual phones associated with the user;

routing the multi-factor authentication messages to the at least one of the one or more virtual phones associated with the user and hosted on the virtual phone server based on data derived from the multi-factor authentication messages;

storing at least a portion of the multi-factor authentication messages in association with the user on a database;

providing a user-facing interface for providing access to the user of data derived from the received authentication message.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising parsing the multi-factor authentication messages to determine a source of the multi-factor authentication messages, wherein a source of the multi-factor authentication messages is determined based on one or more of: text within a body of the received multi-factor authentication messages; an origination phone number of the multi-factor authentication messages; a destination phone number of the multi-factor authentication messages; and data derived from a body of the multi-factor authentication messages.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the multi-factor authentication messages are further parsed such that a source of the multi-factor authentication messages is recognized based on previous actions of the one or more users.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying a multi-factor authentication code within the multi-factor authentication messages.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-factor authentication messages comprise SMS messages containing an authentication code.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-factor authentication messages comprise audio messages containing a multi-factor authentication code.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein audio messages containing the multi-factor authentication code are further analyzed using speech-to-text software prior to data being derived from the received audio messages.

8. A method for managing multi-factor authentication of a plurality of users, the method comprising:

receiving multi-factor authentication data associated with the plurality of users, the multi-factor authentication data generated by one or more of: receiving multi-factor authentication data via a network; generating multi-factor authentication data using an algorithm; and a user manually entering multi-factor authentication data;

associating the received multi-factor authentication data with a user from the plurality of users;

storing the multi-factor authentication data in association with the user from the plurality of users;

displaying the multi-factor authentication data to the user from the plurality of users on a user device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the received multi-factor authentication data is from an SMS message.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the received multi-factor authentication data is an audio message including a spoken authentication code.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the received multi-factor authentication data is received over a network from an API.

12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising providing an application implemented on a user device and wherein the received multi-factor authentication data is from the user device through the application.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the received multi-factor authentication message is from an authentication message received on the user device.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the application implemented on the user device verifies an identity of the user through biometric data collected via one or more sensors of the user device.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the application automatically inputs an authentication code during a login process on the user device.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the application automatically inputs an authentication code via a browser extension installed on a web browser of the user device.
