Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to email verification. A computing platform may receive an electronic message and identify one or more portions of content in the message. Then, the computing platform may generate and embed one or more message-specific identifiers into the electronic message and store electronic message information associating the one or more portions of content with the one or more embedded message-specific identifiers. Thereafter, the computing platform may receive an electronic message verification request to verify authenticity of an identified electronic message received by a computing device. The computing platform may prompt a user of the computing device to provide authentication information associated with one or more portions of content of the identified electronic message. Based on comparing the authentication information provided by the user to the stored electronic message information, the computing platform may determine whether the identified electronic message is valid and send a notification accordingly.
