Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for preventing loss of possession factors may include (i) identifying an account of a user that is associated with a possession factor that is used by the user to perform a multi-factor authentication procedure that is required when accessing the account of the user, (ii) monitoring one or more attributes of at least one of the user and the possession factor, (iii) determining, based at least in part on the one or more attributes of at least one of the user and the possession factor, that the possession factor has likely been lost, and (iv) performing a security action in response to determining that the possession factor has likely been lost to prevent the user from being unable to perform the multi-factor authentication procedure. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
