Two factor vehicle authentication

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for a multi-factor authentication of a user via a vehicle recognition of the user. In this way, the invention may identify a user co-located to a vehicle and authenticate that user via communicable linkages between a user device and automobile system. The invention may authenticate the user via the communicable linkage, vehicle biometrics, user vehicle preferences, and/or third party authentication. Based on a number of authentication points identified, the system may identify a level of authentication for accessing authentication locations. The system may then allow user access to various locations from his/her vehicle without requiring authentication into those locations.
