Automatic teller machine game-based authentication functionality

A non-transitory device-readable storage medium, the device-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor and memory of a customer financial transaction device, causes the customer financial transaction device to perform operations that:

• designate a defined interaction to be received from a user in a session with the customer financial transaction device, the defined interaction provided from authentication input in a game scenario of a gamified user interface authentication display;
• receive a user input from the user with the customer financial transaction device during in connection with a presentation of the game scenario with the gamified user interface authentication display;
• evaluate the user input received with the customer financial transaction device to determine whether the user input corresponds to the defined interaction;
• authenticate the user in the session in response to determining that the user input received with the customer financial transaction device corresponds to the defined interaction;
• and
• performing a security verification in response to determining that the user input received with the customer financial transaction device does not correspond to the defined interaction;
• wherein authenticating the user in the session occurs in response to additionally successfully performing the security verification;
• wherein the security verification includes verification of biometric information of the user, the biometric information obtained from a biometric scan of the user performed in connection with the receiving of the user input with the customer financial transaction device;
• and
• wherein the user input received from the user in connection with the presentation of the game scenario increases an amount of time of visual user attention to the customer financial transaction device or an amount of time of finger contact with a screen of the customer financial transaction device.

A computing system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory device comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, configure the processor to perform electronic operations with a user interface of the computing system that:
• designate a defined interaction to be received from a user in a session with the computing system, the defined interaction provided from authentication input in a game scenario of a gamified user interface authentication display;
• receive a user input from the user with the computing system in connection with a presentation of the game scenario with the gamified user interface authentication display;
• evaluate the user input received with the computing system to determine whether the user input corresponds to the defined interaction;
• authenticate the user in the session in response to determining that the user input received with the computing system corresponds to the defined interaction;
• and
• performing a security verification in response to determining that the user input received with the customer financial transaction device does not correspond to the defined interaction;
• wherein authenticating the user in the session occurs in response to additionally successfully performing the security verification;
• wherein the security verification includes verification of biometric information of the user, the biometric information obtained from a biometric scan of the user performed in connection with the receiving of the user input with the customer financial transaction device;
• and
• wherein the user input received from the user in connection with the presentation of the game scenario increases an amount of time of visual user attention to the customer financial transaction device or an amount of time of finger contact with a screen of the customer financial transaction device.
