Abstract
A method for authenticating an online transaction on a first computing device using a second computing device including detecting a request to process sensitive payment information input on the first computing device to complete a transaction, determining that a condition is present associated with the transaction, disabling a payment processing function of the website to prevent a payment from being processed and completed, generating a unique identifier to be displayed on the first computing device, wherein the user scans the unique identifier with a second computing device to initiate an authentication function, authenticating the user operating the first computing device, and enabling, by the processor, the payment processing function of the website to allow the payment to process.
