Systems and methods for authenticating a user based on a computing device

A method for authentication, comprising:

• receiving, by a user device from a first application executing on the user device during a first time period:
• authorized user credentials;
• first hardware information associated with hardware included in the user device;
• and
• authenticating, by the user device based the based on the authorized user credentials, access to the first application executing on the user device;
• storing, by the user device in response to authenticating the access to the first application, the first hardware information;
• receiving, by the user device from a second application executing on the user device during a second time period that is subsequent to the first time period:
• second hardware information;
• determining, by the user device, that the second hardware information matches the first hardware information;
• and
• authenticating, by the user device, access to the second application executing on the user device based on the second hardware information matching the first hardware information without receiving the user credentials during the second time period.

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable by a machine to cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a first application executing on the user device during a first time period:
• authorized user credentials;
• and
• first software information associated with software included in the user device;
• authenticating, based the based on the authorized user credentials, access to the first application executing on the user device;
• storing, in response to authenticating the access to the first application, the first software information;
• receiving, from a second application executing on the user device during a second time period that is subsequent to the first time period:
• second software information;
• determining that the second software information matches the first software information;
• and
• authenticating access to the second application executing on the user device based on the second software information matching the first software information without receiving the user credentials during the second time period.
