Abstract

A method for accessing a user's account by customer support without viewing the user's private data includes receiving, in an application module communicating with a web service, a request for authentication by a support person using a linked user-support login name. The method includes authenticating the user, authenticating the support person and retrieving a current session of the user as viewed by the user on an electronic screen of a processing device of the user. The method further includes dynamically redacting private data of the user from the user session to create a redacted user session, and delivering the redacted user session for display in an electronic screen of a processing device of the support person.
