Abstract
Various implementations include approaches for authenticating user identity with audio-based verification. Certain approaches include: receiving a request to authenticate a user of an audio device; prompting the user of the audio device to speak a verification word or phrase in response to receiving the request; detecting an acoustic response at the audio device or a connected smart device; comparing the detected acoustic response with an acoustic signature of a known user associated with the audio device and the verification word or phrase, wherein the audio device is registered as an authentication device prior to receiving the request to authenticate the user of the audio device; and sending a confirmation response indicating the user of the audio device is the known user in response to the acoustic response corresponding with the acoustic signature and the verification word or phrase.
