1. A system for generating a virtual reality payment authentication entry interface in a virtual reality environment, the system comprising:
a data storage device storing instructions for generating the virtual reality payment authentication entry interface in an electronic storage medium; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
receiving, over a computer network, a request for payment authorization, the payment authorization including a transaction amount;
determining the transaction amount exceeds a pre-determined threshold amount;
identifying, based on determining the transaction amount exceeded the pre-determined threshold amount, the virtual reality payment authentication entry interface;
generating a virtual interactive icon in the virtual reality payment authentication entry interface, the virtual interactive icon comprising a representation of one or more payment authentication characters;
receiving user input associated with at least one payment authentication character of the one or more payment authentication characters in the virtual reality payment authentication entry interface;
generating, based on the user input, an updated interactive overlay of the one or more payment authentication characters,
wherein the processor is configured to randomly rearrange a non-sequential order of placement of the payment authentication characters in the updated interactive overlay at an increased frequency of randomization based on the transaction amount exceeding the pre-determined threshold; and
generating a payment authorization response to the request for payment authorization based on the received user input.
