Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to a system and method of verifying an identity of user. A computing system receives a HTTP request. The HTTP request includes at least a user name and an IP address associated with a router accessed by the remote client device. The computing system parses the HTTP request to extract the user name and the IP address contained therein. The computing system identifies a user account associated with the extracted user name. The computing system identifies an internet service provider associated with the IP address. The computing system transmits a verification message to the third party service provider. The computing system receives a confirmation message from the third party service provider. The computing system increases a level of confidence in an identification verification process based on the confirmation.
