System and method for distributing multifactor authentication data to trusted parties

Abstract

Systems, methods, and other aspects for distributing multifactor authentication data to trusted parties are disclosed. A system phone number is assigned to a primary user. A group is created, and the primary user and the system phone number are associated with the group. The primary user causes the system to send invitations to the trusted parties to join the group. The invitations provide links, means, and/or instructions to join the group. The system phone number is used to enroll or register in an account that uses a single sign-on credential requiring two-factor authentication. When the primary user or any trusted users attempts to access the account, the two-factor/multifactor authentication information is sent to the system phone number and is accessible to the primary user and other users through the application (for example, via SMS or push notification), allowing the primary user and the other users to access the account.
