Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes identifying a request for access to a first system and obtaining a visual image including at least a first piece of information associated with the request. The visual image is associated with a first device and obtained using a second device. The method also includes determining if the at least first piece of information indicates that the access to the first system is to be granted, wherein determining if the at least first piece of information indicates that the access to the first system is to be granted includes implementing a visual recognition algorithm to process the at least first piece of information. Finally, the access to the first system is granted if it is determined that the at least first piece of information indicates that the access to the first system is to be granted.
