Systems and methods for authentication using low quality and high quality authentication information

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a user, a request for a service that requires authentication;
• determining whether the requested service triggers a high quality authentication information or a request for low quality authentication information based on a previously performed successful authentication within a predetermined amount of time;
• performing a high quality authentication if the service triggers a request for high quality authentication information;
• performing a low quality authentication if the service triggers a request for the low quality authentication information;
• determining whether the requested service requires a successful authentication responsive to determining that the user does not pass the high quality authentication or the low quality authentication;
• and
• allowing the request for service responsive to determining that the service does not require a successful authentication.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

• performing an initial authentication successfully;
• receiving, from a user, a request for a service;
• determining that the requested service triggers a request for low quality authentication information in response to determining that the initial authentication was successfully performed within a predetermined amount of time and is a high quality authentication;
• obtaining the low quality authentication information responsive to the request for low quality authentication information;
• performing a low quality authentication based on the obtained low quality authentication information;
• permitting the service responsive to determining that the low quality authentication is successfully performed;
• in response to that determining the low quality authentication is not successfully performed, determining whether the requested service requires a successful authentication;
• and
• responsive to determining that the requested service does not require a successful authentication, allowing the request for service.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

• transmitting a request for service;
• receiving, from a user, a request for authentication information;
• in response to receiving the request for authentication information, determining that the request for authentication information is a request for low quality authentication information, the determination being based on a previously performed successful authentication being a high quality authentication performed within a predetermined amount of time;
• obtaining low quality authentication information, responsive to the request for low quality authentication information;
• responsive to determining that the user does not pass a low quality authentication based on the obtained low quality authentication information, determining whether the requested service requires a successful authentication;
• and
• responsive to determining that the requested service does not require a successful authentication, allowing the request for service.
