A device detects a communication involving a user associated with an account and a service representative, and sends, to a user device associated with the account, an authentication notification that causes the user device to display an authentication field for the user. The device sends, to a service representative device associated with the service representative, a message that indicates that the service representative is to request, via the communication, the user to enter personal information associated with the user into the authentication field, where the user device is configured to generate a first authentication code based on a user input received from the user device in the authentication field. The device generates a second authentication code based on personal information associated with the account from a data structure, receives the first authentication code, and performs an action based on the first authentication code and the second authentication code.
