Security system for user authentication using contextual interpretation of abstract shapes

A computer program product for improved user authentication in a computing environment, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code, which when executed, is configured to cause a processing device to:

• generate, using a generation subsystem, an authentication prompt in response to a request to access computing resources, wherein the authentication prompt comprises an amorphous shape, and a task associated with the amorphous shape;
• and
• transmit, using the generation subsystem, the authentication prompt to an end-point device;
• receive, using a validation subsystem, an authentication response to the authentication prompt from the end-point device;
• validate, using the validation subsystem, the authentication response;
• and
• permit, using an authentication subsystem, access to the computing resources in an instance in which the authentication response is valid.
