AUTHENTICATION WITH PARENTAL CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

In various embodiments, disclosed are a system and method for authenticating activity associated with a child account as controlled or managed by a parent account. A child-account user can enter a username, or other form of access information, in a child-account device. The username can contain a predetermined identifier in response to which, upon detecting the presence of the predetermined identifier, a third-party website can carry out authentication functions including sending a message to an authentication platform that carries out additional authentication functions, provided that a parent-account device authorizes doing so.

主权项

1. An authentication server for managing access of a child-account device to a third-party server, the authentication server comprising at least one processor and operatively associated memory, the authentication server configured to:
receive, from a parent-account device, a notification that the authentication server may proceed to evaluate access credentials associated with the child-account device; receive, from the third-party server, access credentials associated with the child-account device, wherein the access credentials are based on a string containing a predetermined identifier sent to the third-party server by the child-account device; and determine that the access credentials received from the third-party server substantially match child-account access credentials received by the authentication server.
