1. A system for providing multi-factor authentication based on visual objects associated with an out of band shared secret delivery channel and at least one user device of a telecommunication network, the system comprising:
an access point communicating with an authentication system, a first user device, and a second user device;
the authentication system that is structured to:
generate a set of visual objects;
cause the set of visual objects to be output by the first user device;
based on the set of visual objects, transmit, via an out of band shared secret delivery channel, a visual object request to cause the second user device to output one or more out of band visual objects corresponding to the set of visual objects associated with an out of band shared secret delivery channel;
based on the one or more out of band visual objects, receive, by the first user device, an indication of object selection from the set of visual objects;
determine that the indication of the object selection is associated with a visual selection match among the set of visual objects; and
based on the visual selection match, authenticate access to an application associated with the authentication system and the first user device.
