Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating frictionless credential provisioning on a user computing device are provided. Special 'frictionless tokens' (e.g. ownership tokens) may be generated for each existing credential in a user's digital wallet. Such tokens may be stored in a user's AE locker (e.g. iCloud keychain) and synchronized across the user's devices using any suitable security features (e.g. using any suitable secure enclave processor (“SEP”)-based encryption). Such a token, as may be stored in a device's SEP, may be configured only to be read on that physical device. In this manner, the user may no longer need provide further proof of ownership of a credential or be hassled by passing any other challenge, but, instead, the additional security may be achieved using the ownership token, which may use the user's AE or device passcode in association with the user's physical device (and its SEP).
