Device to Device Binding for Push Approval

A method to authenticate a first endpoint device through a communication link with a second endpoint device, comprising:

• receiving user information associated with a first authentication factor for verification from the first endpoint device;
• in response to verifying the first authentication factor, transmitting a prompt to provide an authentication decision associated with a second authentication factor to the second endpoint device, wherein the second endpoint device is communicatively coupled to the first endpoint device through the communication link;
• and
• receiving the authentication decision that is initiated by the first endpoint device from the second endpoint device, wherein the first endpoint device is configured to initiate and transmit the authentication decision to the second endpoint device in response to receiving the second authentication factor from the second endpoint device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are configured, when executed by a processor, to:

• receive user information associated with a first authentication factor for verification from a first endpoint device;
• in response to verifying the first authentication factor, transmit a prompt to provide an authentication decision associated with a second authentication factor to a second endpoint device, wherein the second endpoint device is communicatively coupled to the first endpoint device through a communication link;
• and
• receive the authentication decision that is initiated by the first endpoint device from the second endpoint device, wherein the first endpoint device is configured to initiate and transmit the authentication decision to the second endpoint device in response to receiving the second authentication factor from the second endpoint device.
