Abstract
A method includes performing a first transaction using a first payment account. The first transaction includes a successful authentication of a holder of the first payment account. A record is stored of the first transaction. The record indicates that the successful authentication occurred. A request is received for a second transaction using a second payment account. The indication of the successful authentication is detected in the stored record of the first transaction. The second transaction is completed without requiring authentication of the account holder.

A method comprising:
- performing a first transaction using a first payment account, the first transaction including a successful authentication of a holder of the first payment account, the first transaction performed using a first digital wallet;
- storing a record of the first transaction, the stored record including an indication that the successful authentication occurred;
- receiving a request for a second transaction using a second payment account held by the holder of the first payment account, the second transaction different from the first transaction, the second transaction performed using a second digital wallet different from the first digital wallet;
- detecting the indication of the successful authentication in the stored record of the first transaction;
- applying a rule to the second transaction, the rule directing that the indication of the successful authentication is relevant to the second transaction in cases where a third payment account is held in both the first digital wallet and the second digital wallet;
- determining that the rule is satisfied with respect to the second transaction;
- and
- in response to the determining step, completing the second transaction without requiring authentication of the account holder.

- detecting the indication of the successful authentication in the stored record of the first transaction;
- comparing a time interval between the first and second points in time with a predetermined permissive time interval;
- applying a rule to the second transaction, the rule directing that the indication of the successful authentication is relevant to the second transaction in cases where a third payment account is held in both the first digital wallet and the second digital wallet;
- determining that the rule is satisfied with respect to the second transaction;
- in response to the determining step, completing the second transaction without requiring authentication of the account holder in a case where the time interval between the first and second points in time does not exceed the predetermined permissive time interval;
- and
- requiring authentication of the account holder in connection with the second transaction in a case where the time interval between the first and second points in time exceeds the predetermined permissive time interval.
An apparatus comprising:
