US Patent 11941103 Multidevice user authentication in group-based communication systems

Method, apparatus and computer program product for multi-device user authentication are described herein. For example, the apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory including program code. The at least one non-transitory memory and the program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, identify, on a first computing device, a first active interface session associated with one or more active authentication conditions each configured to enable access to a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system; cause a first computing device to present an authentication command interface for the first active interface session; receive an interface session request from a second computing device indicating electronic communication by the second computing device with the authentication command interface; and cause the second computing device to execute limited user authentication routines each configured to enable a respective active authentication condition on the second computing device.
