Abstract
An exemplary method comprises generating receiving an authentication request from a graphical user interface on a first computing device; generating a first encrypted media element; displaying the encrypted media element on the GUI; receiving a second encrypted media element from a second computing device; upon determining that the first and second encrypted media elements have a positive match, querying an identification value associated with the second computing device; receiving the identification value associated with the second computing device; upon the identification value matching a data record within a database, determining an account associated with the data record within the database; and authenticating the first computing device by granting the first computing device access to the account associated with the second computing device.
