Utilizing a transaction card to provide secondary authentication for accessing a secure application with a user device

A transaction card includes a near field communication (NFC) component, a security component, a wireless component, one or more memories, and one or more processors communicatively coupled to one or more memories. The transaction card receives a signal from a user device attempting to access a secure application and activates the NFC component based on the signal received from the user device. The transaction card causes the security component to generate an encrypted code based on the NFC component that is activated and provides, through the security component, the encrypted code to the wireless component. The transaction card provides, through the wireless component, the encrypted code to the user device to allow the user device to use the encrypted code as authentication to access the secure application.
