Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for selecting an authentication medium. One apparatus includes at least one processor and a memory that stores code executable by the at least one processor. The code is executable by the processor to receive, by use of the at least one processor, an indication to authenticate a user. The code is executable by the processor to, in response to receiving the indication to authenticate the user, detect a physical availability of a preferred authentication medium of a list of authentication mediums. The code is executable by the processor to, in response to detecting that the preferred authentication medium is physically unavailable, select a physically available authentication medium from the list of authentication mediums to authenticate the user.
