Abstract
The present disclosure provides various embodiments of systems and methods to securely authenticate a user. More specifically, the present disclosure provides embodiments of multi-factor authentication methods that improve both security and user convenience by using trusted secondary devices or peripherals (hereinafter 'trusted devices') to provide additional authentication factor(s) for verifying user presence/identity after an initial authentication factor has been used to verify user presence/identity. Unlike conventional multi-factor authentication methods, the additional authentication factor(s) provided by the trusted devices do not require user input or intervention.
