|
1. A computer system for authenticating a user in a metaverse, the computer system comprising:
one or more processors; and
non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to:
receive an authentication credential from the user;
determine whether the authentication credential is valid;
upon determining that the authentication credential is valid, update authentication status of the user;
upon determining that the user has enabled an option to visually display the authentication status, display a visual indicator adjacent to an avatar associated with a user profile within the metaverse, wherein the visual indicator represents the authentication status;
maintain the authentication status of the user across multiple login attempts by the user;
monitor for outlier behavior associated with the user profile of the user across multiple metaverses;
detect, as the outlier behavior, whether multiple avatars associated with the user profile are participating in interactions within the metaverse or different metaverses within a predetermined time interval, wherein the interactions include financial transactions associated with the user profile;
upon identifying the outlier behavior:
automatically log out the user profile from the metaverse;
update the visual indicator associated with the avatar indicating the authentication status of the user profile; and
trigger a heightened authentication process requiring more authentication factors than were initially required;
require re-authentication of the user profile in the metaverse using the heightened authentication process; and
send an alert to a client device associated with the user to notify of potential impersonation.
