Abstract
Methods and systems described herein may monitor, by a browser, activity of a user within a web page displayed by the browser. Based on detecting, by the browser, an attempt by the first user to perform a financial transaction with an online vendor and associated with a financial account, biometric information associated with the user may be captured by the browser. Based on the captured biometric information, the browser may determine whether the first user is authorized to perform financial transactions with the online vendor and associated with the financial account. Based on a determination that the user is not authorized to perform the financial transaction, the browser may modify at least one element of the webpage to block the user from performing the financial transaction with the online vendor.
