Abstract
An authentication system facilitates a transfer of enrollment in authentication services between client devices. The authentication system enrolls a client device in authentication services to enable the client device to be used for authenticating requests to access one or more services. As part of enrolling the client device, the authentication system receives authentication enrollment information for the client device that is associated with one or more authentication credentials securely stored on the client device (e.g., a multi-factor authentication (MFA) certificate). The authentication system facilitates one or more processes for transferring the enrollment from an enrolled client device to a non-enrolled client device that limit the number and complexity of actions performed by the user. In particular, the authentication system facilitates transfer of enrollment based on receiving enrollment transfer requests authorized by the enrolled client device using one or more authentication credentials associated with the enrollment of the enrolled client device.
