Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for secure access to data actions. In one embodiment, a request to perform an action on electronic data is received from a client device. Primary authentication information is received from the client system, a secondary device, or both. The request is authenticated by: in response to the primary authentication information matching the expected primary authentication of the user profile associated with the primary authentication information, providing expected secondary authentication information to supplement the primary authentication to the client system, the secondary device, or both; receiving inputted secondary authentication information from the client system, the secondary device, or both; and authenticating the request only when the inputted secondary authentication information matches the expected secondary authentication information. When the request is authenticated, performance of the action is allowed and otherwise, when the request is not authenticated, performance of the action is denied.
