Transferring authentication between an extended reality (xr) device and a smart card

Abstract

A computer program product and method for a user to obtain an authentication to an account with a first user device and transfer the obtained authentication to a second user device. The first user device may be a wearable device, such as an XR device like smart glasses, and the second user device may be a smart card, or vice versa. The authentication transfer may enable both devices to be used by the user to access the same account simultaneously. The authentication transfer may also enable the transfer of a stronger authentication that may be obtained on a first user device (e.g., biometric indicia) to a second user device that does not have a capability to obtain the stronger authentication. This may provide the second user device with account access that may otherwise not be available to the second user device or to greater access to the account.
