Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for facilitating performing frictionless two-factor authentication. One example method includes receiving, from a first entity, an indication of a request, received at the first entity, to access an account from a device associated with a user, the indication comprising at least one instance of first device identification information of at least one device having authorization to access the account, receiving, from a second entity, second device identification information, the second device identification information determined upon the device accessing to the network address, performing a real-time comparison between the first device identification information and second device identification information, and prompting the first entity to grant the device access to the account if a match is detected between the first device identification information and second device identification information.
