Abstract
Systems and methods provide increased authentication security by verifying that a device is associated with a human user (as opposed to, for instance, malicious code). In some configurations, a request for authentication is received from a device that includes an identifier of the device (e.g., an IP address of the device). A determination is made that the identifier of the device was not previously associated with a human user. In response to determining that the identifier of the device was not previously associated with a human user, a verification process is initiated to determine that the device is associated with a human user.
