Abstract
In an example, techniques of this disclosure include establishing, by a computing device, authentication data for authenticating a user of a service provided by a service provider, where the authentication data comprises one or more first data entries and one or more second data entries that correspond to the one or more first data entries. The techniques also include retrieving, from at least one third-party service provider, one or more second data entries maintained by the at least one third-party service provider that correspond to the one or more first data entries, and authenticating the user based on the authentication data, where authenticating the user comprises comparing the one or more first data entries to the one or more second data entries retrieved from the at least one third-party service provider.
