Systems and methods for authenticating users

A method comprising:

• determining that an object detected in a set of images related to an environment of a user satisfies one or more criteria, the one or more criteria comprising (i) the object being in a plurality of different samples and (ii) the object being in a first spatial region of a first sample of the plurality of different samples, wherein the first spatial region of the first sample is a spatial region at which the user looked;
• generating an authentication question based on (i) the object detected in the set of images satisfying the one or more criteria and (ii) object data associated with the detected object, the object data comprising attributes of the object derived from the set of images, and the authentication question comprising a question related to one or more of the attributes;
• and
• authenticating the user based on an authentication response obtained from a user device of the user in connection with the authentication question matching a pre-determined response to the authentication question.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause operations comprising:

• determining that an object detected in a set of images related to an environment of a user satisfies one or more criteria, the one or more criteria comprising (i) the object being in a plurality of different samples and (ii) the object being in a first spatial region of a first sample of the plurality of different samples, wherein the first spatial region of the first sample is a spatial region at which the user looked;
• generating and providing an authentication prompt based on (i) the object detected in the set of images satisfying the one or more criteria and (ii) object data associated with the detected object, the object data comprising attributes of the object derived from the set of images, and the authentication prompt comprising a question related to one or more of the attributes;
• and
• authenticating the user based on an authentication response obtained from a user device of the user in connection with the authentication prompt matching a pre-determined response to the authentication prompt.
