Google and some other companies do this
But it should or could be a standard protocol that sends a message to you to verify you want to do something.
When you make a payment. You are asked to approve the details.
When you change address
Change account details
Change an amount
Change phone
number
Change email
We cross reference the details to see if they match and then approve.
It would show details such as map location, address, even a selfie.

Standardizing something that many companies already do in a standard (to them) way? Can't see how that's an invention. |
|
|
But give me some more info on the way you want to extend this. For example, tell me the use case and value of a company knowing where you where when "you want to do something" unless the thing you want to do is very location specific.,, ? |
|
|
All my banks, email providers, relationships with my utility companies, government and companies should use this system. |
|
|
Then I can approve actions to my accounts. |
|
|
As it stands in 2023, every company and government service has to build this functionality, again and again. |
|
|
If we designed the applications interface and technical data protocol, we would have standard audit log and request list across all our accounts. |
|
|
// every company and government service has to build this functionality, again and again // |
|
|
Not really. There are existing services that multiple companies use. In the USA, "ID.Me" comes to mind as most of the government web sites I log in to use it (and so do many private sector firms). According to their own website they have over 600 partners. |
|
|
From what I've seen, most of that is just for login verifications, but there are a couple that ask me to re-authenticate when making account changes. I think most companies will prefer to keep account information in their own silos even if they let a 3rd party authenticate the user. |

How is this better and more secure than the double-authentication done with your cel? I live in the hinterlands and the only drawback to getting a number is the time it sometimes takes. Im not sure how this works. Does it work? Needs a new app? |
|
|
[ ] Approve triple authentication. |
|
|
[ ] Approve quadruple authentication. |
|
|
[ ] Do not authenticate and just buy the damn thing right now. |

// is this better than double-authentication done with your cel ... does it need a new app // |
|

Even if it's better, it's still not new. Authy provides 2FA *without* needing to get a text message in your phone. There are other apps that do this; Microsoft and Google have the own and there some interoperability between them (that is, even if Google says "enter the code from Google authenticator, I can get it from Authy as well). |
