Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although more secure than single-factor authentication, the above process is cumbersome for users, especially those with physical disabilities who find it difficult to manually enter text messages
Furthermore, the above process requires extensive manual user intervention whenever a user attempts to authenticate to a service or application

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for authenticating users to secure services or apps utilizing reversed hands-free and / or continuous two-factor authentication. When auser desires to access a secure service or app for which she / he is already registered, the user, having a registered mobile computing device in proximity to his or her presence, comes within a threshold distance of a computing device that includes the desired secure service or app. The computing device authenticates the particular mobile computing device as associated with the particular registered user that utilized that mobile device during registration. Subsequent to such device authentication, the user is able to login to the service or app by simply providing his or her user credentialsat a login form associated therewith. Two-factor authentication in accordance with embodiments hereof is more secure and more efficient than traditional authentication methodologies.

Description

Background technique [0001] When a user desires to access a secure service or application (eg, via a website or application), he / she often needs to register with the service or application. During registration, the user selects, creates, or is otherwise provided with one or more user credentials that identify the user. When accessing a service or application sometime after initial registration, a user authenticates to the service or application by providing user credentials that verify his / her identity. This type of registration is often referred to as single-factor authentication because the user is required to utilize a single factor—"something the user knows" (i.e., a password chosen, created, or otherwise provided at registration)—to authenticate the service to the service. or apply authentication. [0002] While single-factor authentication is sufficient for some purposes, a fraudulent user employing a little creativity and user knowledge may be able to guess user crede...
