SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18064471 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTHENTICATION
The patent application describes a system and method for a password-free authentication experience that allows for dual-device authentication. Users can choose an alternative authentication method on one device, which involves using a unique code to link the authentication process with a second device. Biometric authentication methods can be used on the second device, and users can also disable authentication methods for added security.
- Users can select an alternative authentication method on one device.
- A unique code is used to link the authentication process with a second device.
- Biometric authentication methods can be used on the second device.
- Users can disable authentication methods for increased security.
Potential Applications: - Secure access to personal devices - Online banking and financial transactions - Employee access control systems
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for passwords - Enhances security with dual-device authentication - Provides flexibility in choosing authentication methods
Benefits: - Improved security - Convenient and user-friendly authentication process - Reduced risk of unauthorized access
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Security Solutions for Authentication Systems This technology can be applied in industries such as: - Cybersecurity companies - Mobile device manufacturers - Financial institutions
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of dual-device authentication systems and password-free authentication methods to identify any relevant prior art.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in biometric authentication technology and dual-device authentication systems for potential improvements in the described system.
Questions about Password-Free Authentication with Dual-Device Authentication: 1. How does dual-device authentication enhance security in the authentication process?
- Dual-device authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring verification from two separate devices, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of using biometric authentication methods in this system?
- Biometric authentication methods may raise privacy concerns and have limitations in terms of accuracy and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
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.
