Abstract
A system and application for providing a user authentication or verification of a user identity are provided. A primary log in factor is created by a user. In addition, one or more smart devices associated with the user are verified by the user to create a list of user authentication devices. Upon a request for user authentication, a combination of the correct primary log in factor and a determination that the user is within the vicinity of at least one of the user authentication devices on the list are used to determine the authenticity of the user. A user authentication may be used to unlock a secured application on a user device or to authenticate a transaction with a third party. Methods and machine-readable medium for user authentication are also provided.
