Original Abstract Submitted

A system can receive a request from a user device to disable a password-based mode of authentication associated with a user account. The user account can have a password usable for accessing account data associated with the user account and account functions associated with the user account. The system can receive verification from the user device for the request. The system can disable the password-based mode of authentication associated with the user account. The system can enable a password-less mode of authentication associated with the user account. The password-less mode of authentication can enable the user device to access account data associated with the user account and account functions associated with the user account without requiring the user to enter the password.
