Abstract
Techniques are described for managing authentication tokens associated with a secure account maintained by a business or organization. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes storing interaction information associated with an account maintained by an organization, wherein the interaction information includes information about authentication tokens used during a plurality of prior authentication procedures performed for the account, receiving, over a network, a request to authenticate a user to access the account, determining, based on the stored interaction information, an authentication token to be used to authenticate the user, wherein the authentication token is different than a prior authentication token used during the plurality of prior authentication procedures performed for the account, presenting a prompt for the authentication token; and determining, based on information received in response to the prompt, whether the user is authorized to access the account.
