Abstract
A method for authenticating a transaction includes: receiving, by a transaction processing unit of a computing system, a request for a transaction on a user account; generating, by the transaction processing unit, a personal identification number (PIN) and/or alert message; transmitting the PIN to a mobile device associated with the user account after a person requesting the transaction refuses authentication by a PIN-to-device process; and canceling, by the transaction processing unit, the transaction when a response to the PIN and/or alert message is received from the mobile device within a specified period of time.
