Efficient logon

A method of authenticating a user associated with a user device comprising:

• receiving an indication that a plurality of user devices are within a detectable range of an enterprise device, wherein the indication that the plurality of user devices are within the detectable range of the enterprise device is received using at least one of near-field communications, radio frequency identification, or Bluetooth;
• identifying a plurality of user profiles associated with the plurality of user devices, wherein each of the user profiles in the plurality of user profiles indicates authentication challenges and authentication information for the enterprise device;
• displaying an indication of the plurality of user devices;
• receiving a selection of one of the plurality of user devices for logon;
• receiving the authentication information to validate a user, wherein a type of the authentication information to validate the user is based on the authentication challenges and user preferences indicated in a user profile associated with the selected one of the plurality of user devices;
• receiving, from the selected one of the plurality of user devices, the authentication information to validate the selected one of the plurality of user devices;
• authenticating the user associated with the selected one of the plurality of user devices by verifying the authentication information to validate the user and the authentication information to validate the selected one of the plurality of user devices;
• granting, to the user, access to one or more enterprise services when the user is authenticated;
• receiving an indication that the selected one of the plurality of user devices is no longer within the detectable range of the enterprise device;
• and
• after a period of time of receiving the indication that the selected one of the plurality of user devices is no longer within the detectable range of the enterprise device, determining, based on a date, whether to lock the enterprise device or log the user off of the enterprise device.

A system comprising:

• a database comprising:
• a plurality of user profiles associated with a plurality of user devices, the plurality of user profiles including authentication information and authentication challenges;
• a detection module configured to:
• receive signals from the plurality of user devices located within a detectable range of an enterprise device, wherein the signals identify the plurality of user devices located within the detectable range of the enterprise device, wherein the signals from the plurality of user devices are received using at least one of near-field communications, radio frequency identification, or Bluetooth;
• a user profile module configured to:
• access, from the database, the plurality of user profiles associated with the identified plurality of user devices, and
• determine which user device of the identified plurality of user devices to authenticate based on the plurality of user profiles;
• an authentication request module configured to:
• request the authentication information based on the authentication challenges indicated in a user profile,
• receive the authentication information, and
• verify the authentication information;
• and
• a logon module configured to:
• grant access to one or more enterprise services when the authentication information has been successfully verified,
• wherein the detection module is further configured to:
• receive signals indicating that the user device of the identified plurality of user devices is no longer within the detectable range of the enterprise device, and
• after a period of time of receiving the signals indicating that the user device of the identified plurality of user devices is no longer within the detectable range of the enterprise device, determining, based on a date, whether to lock the enterprise device or log a user off of the enterprise device.
