Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for passively authenticating users of a native application running on a mobile communications device. The user may be applying for a service, product, access, etc. from a provider computing system. A unique device identifier of the device may be acquired and provided to a first computing system. A mobile telephone number associated with the device may be received at the device. User information may be accepted from the user via a user interface of the device for entry into a set of fields. The mobile telephone number may be verified by determining, via a second computing system that is different from the first computing system, that the mobile telephone number is associated with the user information. The service/product/access for the user may be approved in response to verification of the mobile telephone number. The user may be authenticated without challenge questions.
