Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for authenticating a source of a telephone call to a recipient of the telephone call may include receiving, prior to receiving the telephone call, a request to input first authentication information. The first authentication information may include a passcode or a selection of a security question. The method may include receiving input of the first authentication information and sending, by the user device, the first authentication information to a computing device associated with the source of the telephone call. The method may include receiving the telephone call from the source and receiving input from the recipient of the telephone call to answer the telephone call. The method may include receiving second authentication information from the computing device, where the second authentication information may include the passcode or an answer to the security question. The method may include outputting the second authentication information.
