Abstract
Systems and methods for providing multi-factor authentication based on visual objects associated with an out of band shared secret delivery channel and at least one user device of a telecommunication network include an access point communicatively coupled to an authentication system. The authentication system is structured to generate a set of visual objects, cause the set of visual objects to be output by a first user device, transmit, via an out of band shared secret delivery channel, a visual object request to cause a secondary user device to output one or more out of band visual objects, receive an indication of object selection from the set of visual objects, determine that the indication of the object selection is associated with a visual selection match among the set of visual objects, and based on the visual selection match, authenticate access to an application associated with the authentication system.
