Pre-registration of authentication devices

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer program instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause the processor to perform steps comprising:

• receiving, by a security key provider system, an instruction to pre-register a plurality of security keys to an application from an enterprise, wherein the plurality of security keys are physical devices, each physical device associated with a user of the enterprise;
• identifying, by the security key provider system, respective authentication codes generated by the plurality of security keys to pre-register each respective security key of the plurality of security keys to the application, wherein each authentication code comprises a respective public key and a respective private key;
• and
• pre-registering, by the security key provider system, a respective public key of a respective authentication code of each security key to the application, wherein, responsive to determining a respective user attempt to authenticate with the application after the pre-registering by interaction with a respective security key, the application grants access to the respective user using the respective authentication code without requiring registration, by the respective user, of the respective security key, based on the respective private key of the respective security key matching the respective public key, and wherein the pre-registering is performed for the plurality of security keys at a same time in batch.
