Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improving the security of computer authentication using light communications data provided by, e.g., environmental Li-Fi light sources. A mobile device may receive light communications data from a light source, such as a Li-Fi-enabled light bulb in a physical environment of the mobile device. That light communications data may indicate a variation in a modulation of light intensity of the light source over a time period. That variation might be used to provide a time- and/or location-specific key. The mobile device may determine the key by processing the light communications data and transmit a request for content that comprises the key. Access to content may be provided to the mobile device based on the key.
