Rapid advancements in technology and communications have led to the ubiquitous use of wireless electronics. As such, today's society has grown to become heavily device reliant, with a need to be constantly connected. This reliance has led to the use of electronics to make monetary transactions for goods and services.
For example, consumers can now go to a home computer to purchase an item at a children's store. Unfortunately, the use of electronic devices for the purchase of goods and services can often be susceptible to unauthorized use by another user and/or a hacker. This susceptibility can lead to loss of time, money as well as stress and frustration to a user. Therefore, it would be beneficial if a system were created that provides user authentication through the use of a trusted primary device in order to avoid unauthorized use of an account.
