Authentication system

Abstract

Systems and methods for providing authentication include receiving an authentication passcode input through an input device of a user device from a first user. The first user is authenticated in response to the authentication passcode input matching at least one user authentication passcode in a database, and an authentication time period is associated with the authentication of the first user and allows the first user access to at least one application on the user device. A plurality of authentication factors are then detected using the user device, and plurality of authentication factors are not an authentication passcode input received through the input device. The plurality of authentication factors are then determined to match the at least one authentication profile in the database and, in response, the authentication time period is extended such that the first user is allowed continued access to the at least one application on the user device.
