Abstract
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a communication system accessing a request received from an application on a user device to log into a primary platform of a communication system using a user account. In response to detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt, that the user account also grants access to a secondary platform of the communication system, and that settings of the user account include enabled push notifications via the secondary platform, the communication system provides a notification for display to a user of the user account via the secondary platform.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing a request received from an application on a user device to log into a primary platform of a communication system using a user account;
- detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt;
- in response to detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt,
- determining the user account also grants access to a secondary platform of the communication system, and
- determining settings of the user account include enabled push notifications via the secondary platform;
- and
- in response to detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt, determining the user account also grants access to a secondary platform of the communication system, and determining the user account settings include enabled push notifications via the secondary platform, providing a notification for display to a user of the user account via the secondary platform.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform a method comprising:
- accessing a request received from an application on a user device to log into a primary platform of a communication system using a user account;
- detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt;
- in response to detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt,
- determining the user account also grants access to a secondary platform of the communication system, and
- determining settings of the user account include enabled push notifications via the secondary platform;
- and
- in response to detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt, determining the user account also grants access to a secondary platform of the communication system, and determining the user account settings include enabled push notifications via the secondary platform, providing a notification for display to a user of the user account via the secondary platform.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processing device, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processing device, cause the apparatus to:
- access a request received from an application on a user device to log into a primary platform of a communication system using a user account;
- detect the request as an unrecognized login attempt;
- in response to detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt,
- determine the user account also grants access to a secondary platform of the communication system, and
- determine settings of the user account include enabled push notifications via the secondary platform;
- and
- in response to detecting the request as an unrecognized login attempt, determining the user account also grants access to a secondary platform of the communication system, and determining the user account settings include enabled push notifications via the secondary platform, provide a notification for display to a user of the user account via the secondary platform.
