Enhanced Security Using Wearable Device with Authentication System

An information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
• a telecommunications adapter, accessible by at least one of the processors;
• and
• a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors to secure a network-accessible site, wherein the set of instructions perform actions of:
• registering a wearable device in response to receiving a registration request from a user, wherein the registration request comprises a set of acceptable user states and a corresponding set of acceptable times to perform a set of actions;
• in response to registering the wearable device, receiving a request from the user of the network-accessible site to perform a selected one of the set of actions;
• transmitting an inquiry to the wearable device registered to the user in response to receiving the request;
• determining a current time in response to receiving a current state of the user from the wearable device responding to the transmitted state inquiry;
• and
• performing the selected action at the network-accessible site in response to determining that the received current state of the user matches one of the set of acceptable states and the current time matches one of the set of acceptable times.

A computer program product stored in a computer readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions comprising:

• registering a wearable device in response to receiving a registration request from a user, wherein the registration request comprises a set of acceptable user states and a corresponding set of acceptable times to perform a set of actions;
• in response to registering the wearable device, receiving a request from the user of the network-accessible site to perform a selected one of the set of actions;
• transmitting an inquiry to the wearable device registered to the user in response to receiving the request;
• determining a current time in response to receiving a current state of the user from the wearable device responding to the transmitted state inquiry;
• and
• performing the selected action at the network-accessible site in response to determining that the received current state of the user matches one of the set of acceptable states and the current time matches one of the set of acceptable times.
