Providing multiple authentication elements via a pointing device for user authentication

A system comprising:

• a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to:
• receive authentication data, from a user device associated with a user, for authenticating the user for providing authentication elements via a pointing device at a Point-of-Sale (PoS) device for initiating of a transaction;
• receive user input including authentication elements provided via the pointing device at an input device of the POS device, the authentication elements comprising an authenticating input for authenticating the user for the transaction;
• access encoded data that is embedded in the user input;
• and
• determine, based on the authentication elements, authentication for initiating the transaction by the user at the POS device.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable to cause performance of operations comprising:

• receiving authentication data for authenticating a user for using a pointing device at a Point-of-Sale (PoS) device for initiating of a transaction;
• receiving user input that includes an authenticating input, the user input provided via the pointing device at an input device of the POS device, the authenticating input for authenticating the user for the transaction;
• accessing encoded data that is embedded in the user input;
• determining a correlation between the authentication data and the encoded data;
• and
• determining, based on the correlation and the authenticating input, authentication for initiating the transaction by the user at the POS device.
