1. A system for restricting security connection data resets, 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 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 or more 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 of the multiple registered users 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 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 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 the reply from the validation computing system repudiates the requested new value for the particular secure connection setting; and
tolling a trial count, and
upon the trial count reaching a predetermined condition:
suspending the conducting of the multiple trials;
sending a denial message to the requesting device; and
sending an alert of the request to reset the value of a 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.
