Abstract
A device receives a request from a terminal device to start a session to authenticate a person associated with an account. The device creates the session. The session is associated with the terminal device. The device receives session information and authentication information from a user device operated by the person. The device determines the session based on the session information and generates an authentication message based on the authentication information. The device transmits the authentication message to the terminal device associated with the session to authenticate that the person is associated with the account.
