Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for providing a user indicia in a display at a local client browser. The user indicia is selected prior to a web transaction and is recognizable by the user. The user indicia is displayed in a web page of a web transaction during authentication. A user can recognize the user indicia prior to providing authentication information in a web transaction. An authentication system includes a web server that provides a web page having a security box identifier, and a client browser that receives the web page from the web server. In response to the security box identifier, the client browser inserts a user indicia into the received web page and outputs a modified web page including the user indicia for display.
