Authentication circle management

A method comprising:

• receiving, from at least one of a first user device of a first user or a second user device of a second user, an audio input based on sounds captured using at least one of a first audio sensor of the first user device or a second audio sensor of the second user device, respectively;
• analyzing the audio input to identify therein one or more spoken keywords corresponding to a verbal trigger to form an authentication circle that includes the first user and the second user;
• generating, responsive to the verbal trigger, the authentication circle including a first user identifier the first user and a second user identifier the second user;
• transmitting, responsive to generating the authentication circle, to the first user device of the first user and the second user device of the second user, a first request and a second request, respectively, for authorization to establish the authentication circle that includes the first user and the second user and is linked to one or more accounts, wherein each of the one or more accounts is secured by a different third-party computing system such that each account, to be accessed, requires submission of separate login credentials to a corresponding third-party computing system;
• receiving, from the first user device, a first indication of acceptance of the first request and receive, from the second user device, a second indication of acceptance of the second request;
• receiving, from the first user device, a first login credential and associate the first login credential with the first user such that the first login credential grants the first user access to a dashboard;
• receiving, from the second user device, a second login credential and associate the second login credential with the second user such that the second login credential grants the second user access to the dashboard;
• receiving, from the second user device, via a login screen of the dashboard accessed on the second user device, a first entered credential;
• verifying that the first entered credential grants the second user access to the dashboard by determining that the first entered credential corresponds to the second login credential;
• in response to verifying the first entered credential received from the second user device, generating a first view configured to enable (i) selection of a third-party account of the second user that is administered by a third-party computing system, and (ii) selection of account permissions defining account functionality to be granted, through access to the dashboard, to one or more members of the authentication circle, and present the dashboard comprising the first view to the second user device;
• receiving, from the second user device via the dashboard, a first input selecting to link the third-party account to the authentication circle and a second input identifying a permission defining the account functionality to be granted to the first user through the dashboard;
• linking, responsive to the first and second inputs, the third-party account of the second user to the authentication circle by:
• transmitting, to the third-party computing system, a third request to link the account to the authentication circle at a permission level corresponding to the permission identified through the second input from the second user device;
• and
• receiving, from the third-party computing system responsive to the third request, a security access token generated by the third-party computing system to grant limited access to the account at the permission level corresponding to the permission identified through the second input from the second user;
• receiving, from the first user device, via the login screen of the dashboard accessed on the first user device, a second entered credential;
• verifying that the second entered credential grants the first user access to the dashboard by determining that the second entered credential corresponds to the first login credential;
• in response to verifying the second entered credential, generating, in the dashboard, a second view identifying the first and second users and the third-party account;
• receiving, from the first user device via the dashboard, a third input that identifies the third-party account to request access to the third-party account;
• transmitting, via an application programming interface (API), to the third-party computing system, an API account access request that comprises the security access token;
• receiving, from the third-party computing system, in response to the API account access request, account details according to the permission level defining limited account functionality granted to the first user through the dashboard;
• and
• presenting, to the first user device via the dashboard, access to the linked third-party account of the second user with restrictions imposed according to by the permission level, wherein the dashboard is configured to make the account details of the account accessible to the first user through the dashboard using the first login credential without requiring the first user to directly connect to the third-party computing system, thereby enabling access by multiple users with different credentials to the third-party account through the dashboard.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive, from at least one of a first user device of a first user or a second user device of a second user, an audio input based on sounds captured using at least one of a first audio sensor of the first user device or a second audio sensor of the second user device, respectively;
• analyze the audio input to identify therein one or more spoken keywords corresponding to a verbal trigger to form an authentication circle that includes the first user and the second user;
• generate, responsive to the verbal trigger, the authentication circle including a first user identifier for the first user and a second user identifier for the second user;
• transmit, responsive to generating the authentication circle, to the first user device of the first user and the second user device of the second user, a first request and a second request, respectively, for authorization to establish the authentication circle that includes the first user and the second user and is linked to one or more accounts, wherein each of the one or more accounts is secured by a different third-party computing system such that each account, to be accessed, requires submission of separate login credentials to a corresponding third-party computing system;
• receive, from the first user device, a first indication of acceptance of the first request and receive, from the second user device, a second indication of acceptance of the second request;
• receive, from the first user device, a first login credential and associate the first login credential with the first user such that the first login credential grants the first user access to a dashboard;
• receive, from the second user device, a second login credential and associate the second login credential with the second user such that the second login credential grants the second user access to the dashboard;
• receive, from the second user device, via a login screen of the dashboard accessed on the second user device, a first entered credential;
• verify that the first entered credential grants the second user access to the dashboard by determining that the first entered credential corresponds to the second login credential;
• in response to verifying the first entered credential received from the second user device, generate a first view configured to enable (i) selection of a third-party account of the second user that is administered by a third-party computing system, and (ii) selection of account permissions defining account functionality to be granted, through access to the dashboard, to one or more members of the authentication circle, and present the dashboard comprising the first view to the second user device;
• receive, from the second user device via the dashboard, a first input selecting to link the third-party account to the authentication circle and a second input identifying a permission defining the account functionality to be granted to the first user through the dashboard;
• link, responsive to the first and second inputs, the third-party account of the second user to the authentication circle by:
• transmitting, to the third-party computing system, a third request to link the account to the authentication circle at a permission level corresponding to the permission identified through the second input from the second user device;
• and
• receiving, from the third-party computing system responsive to the third request, a security access token generated by the third-party computing system to grant limited access to the account at the permission level corresponding to the permission identified through the second input from the second user;
• receive, from the first user device, via the login screen of the dashboard accessed on the first user device, a second entered credential;
• verify that the second entered credential grants the first user access to the dashboard by determining that the second entered credential corresponds to the first login credential;
• in response to verifying the second entered credential, generate, in the dashboard, a second a view identifying the first and second users and the third-party account;
• receive, from the first user device via the dashboard, a third input that identifies the third-party account to request access to the third-party account;
• transmit, via an application programming interface (API), to the third-party computing system, an API account access request that comprises the security access token;
• receive, from the third-party computing system, in response to the API account access request, account details according to the permission level defining limited account functionality granted to the first user through the dashboard;
• and
• present, to the first user device via the dashboard, access to the linked third-party account of the second user with restrictions imposed according to by the permission level, wherein the dashboard is configured to make the account details of the account accessible to the first user through the dashboard using the first login credential without requiring the first user to directly connect to the third-party computing system, thereby enabling access by multiple users with different credentials to the third-party account via the dashboard.
