US Patent 10313357 Reduced user authentication input requirements

Techniques disclosed herein enable a system to reduce user authentication requirements during a user's travels by analyzing transportation data and/or event data sent to the user via a communication service, e.g. email. The system may analyze the data in order to determine where the user will be at some future time and, ultimately, to then validate access requests against such determinations to mitigate the need for heightened user authentication requirements while the user is traveling. For instance, the system may identify an airline reservation sent to the user and enable the user to confirm that she has corresponding travel plans. Once she confirms her travel plans, the system may refrain from increasing authentication requirements from Single-Factor Authentication (SFA) to Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) input requirements for access requests that match the confirmed travel plans.
