Abstract
A user of a device is authenticated after providing a pass code or other data confirming the user can access data on the device. While the user uses the device, behaviometric data is recorded which includes measures of how the user uses the device. Additional data, however, can only be accessed with a biometric and/or second authentication after collecting at least some behaviometric data, in embodiments of the disclosed technology. Depending on how close of a match the behaviometric data received is to previously recorded behaviometric data for the particular user, a threshold minimum is set for the biometric match in order to grant stepped up authentication and authorization to view the additional data. In this manner, a legitimate user often requires less time to authenticate compared to the prior art and a fraudulent user is rejected from access to sensitive data more accurately.
