Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for authenticating user device(s) by ensuring that two user devices accessing the same online service are co-located, while protecting private information associated with a user's network landscape and/or Bluetooth device(s). The techniques may ensure that a second factor authentication device is in the same location as a first factor access device, and that a first factor access device is in the same location as it was during previous access attempts).
