Abstract
Provided is a computing device of a group based communication system configured to securely validate a client device associated with a group-based communication interface user. An example computing device is configured to identify a validating request transmitted from the client device. If a validating request is identified, the example computing device will transmit a temporary device code to the client device associated with the group-based communication interface user and an e-mail code to an e-mail address associated with a user profile associated with the group-based communication interface user. The example computing device also stores the codes transmitted. The example computing device then receives a confirmation exchange from the client device and determines whether the confirmation exchange satisfies client device validation parameters. If the confirmation exchange satisfies the client device validation parameters, the example computing device will validate the client device by transmitting and storing a long lived device code.
