Abstract
Access to a system is permitted by first polling a low-power device/connection on a user device for a low-power multifactor authentication (MFA), and; refraining from polling a high-power device/connection on the user device for a high-power MFA. An indication is received from a user that the user would like to access the system. The low-power MFA is identified via the polling of the low-power device/connection, and the user is authenticated via the low-power MFA. After authenticating the user via the low-power MFA, the high-power device/connection is woken and polled for the high-power MFA. The high-power MFA is identified via the polling of the high-power device/connection, and the user is authenticated via the high-power MFA. Access to the system is permitted when the user has been authenticated using the low-power MFA and the high-power MFA.
