Systems and methods for restricting security connection data resets

A system for restricting security connection data sets, the system comprising:

• a computing system of a first entity including at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions, at least one of a memory device and a non-transitory storage device for maintaining values for respective secure connection settings for each user of multiple registered users each having one or more user devices, and a communication interface for operatively connecting, via a communication network, the at least one processor to the one or more user devices of each of the multiple registered users, and to a validation entity computing system of a validation service entity,
• wherein, upon execution of the computer-readable instructions, the computing system performs steps comprising, for a specific user upon receiving a set request, from a requesting device, to set the value of a particular secure connection setting for the specific user:
• conducting multiple trials in succession, by, for each of the multiple trials:
• receiving a requested new value for the particular secure connection setting from the requesting device;
• sending a validation request to the validation entity computing system, the validation request identifying the specific user and including, at least in part, the requested new value for the particular secure connection setting;
• receiving a reply from the validation entity computing system;
• determining whether the reply from the validation entity computing system repudiates or validates the requested new value for the particular secure connection setting;
• upon determining the reply from the validation entity computing system repudiates the requested new value, tolling a trial count;
• upon the trial count reaching a predetermined condition, sending an alert of the request to set the value of the particular secure connection setting to at least one user device of the one or more user devices of the specific user according to at least one maintained value of the secure connection settings for the specific user;
• and
• upon determining the reply from the validation entity computing system validates the requested new value, setting the value of the particular secure connection setting of the secure connection settings for the specific user to the new value.

A method for a computing system to restrict security connection data resets, the computing system being of a first entity and including at least one processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions, at least one of a memory device and a non-transitory storage device maintaining values for respective secure connection settings for each user of multiple registered users each having one or more user devices, and a communication interface for operatively connecting, via a communication network, the at least one processor to the one or more user devices of each of the multiple registered users, and to a validation entity computing system of a validation service entity, the method comprising, upon execution of the computer-readable instructions:

• upon receiving a reset request, from a requesting device, to reset the value of a particular secure connection setting of the secure connection settings for a specific user of the multiple registered users:
• conducting multiple trials in succession, by, for each of the multiple trials:
• receiving a requested new value for the particular secure connection setting from the requesting device;
• sending a validation request to the validation entity computing system, the validation request including, at least in part, the requested new value for the particular secure connection setting;
• receiving a reply from the validation entity computing system;
• determining whether the reply from the validation entity computing system repudiates or validates the requested new value for the particular secure connection setting;

• upon the trial count reaching a predetermined condition, sending an alert of the request to reset the value of the particular secure connection setting to at least one user device of the one or more user devices of the specific user according to at least one maintained value of the secure connection settings for the specific user;
• and
• upon determining the reply from the validation entity computing system validates the requested new value, resetting the value of the particular secure connection setting of the secure connection settings for the specific user to the new value.
