Abstract
A system and method for a password-free authentication experience that further allows for dual-device authentication is described. The system allows a user to choose an alternative authentication method on a first device which includes the use of a unique code to couple the authentication process with a second device. The alternative authentication method may include the use of biometric authentication methods on the second device. Further the systems and methods allow a user to disable authentication methods for added security.
Claims20
A system for authentication comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
- and
- a memory device storing executable code that, when executed, causes the processor to:
- receive, from a first device, from a user, an authentication event;
- generate a unique code associated with the authentication event;
- display the unique code to the user on the first device;
- receive, from a second device, from the user, the unique code;
- and
- send an authentication prompt, based on receiving the unique code, to the second device, wherein the authentication prompt comprises an invocation for authentication.
A system for authentication comprising:

- a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
- and
- a memory device storing executable code that, when executed, causes the processor to:
- receive, from a user on a first device, a user authentication;
- validate the user, based on the user authentication;
- receive a request, from the user, to disable an authentication method;
- disable the authentication method, based on the request.
A method for authentication, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first device, from a user, an authentication event;
- generating a unique code associated with the authentication event;
- displaying the unique code to the user on the first device;
- receiving, from a second device, from the user, the unique code;
- and
- sending an authentication prompt, based on receiving the unique code, to the second device, wherein the authentication prompt comprises an invocation for authentication.
