PROVIDING AUTHENTICATION CODES WHICH INCLUDE TOKEN CODES AND BIOMETRIC FACTORS

A technique provides authentication codes to authenticate a user to an authentication server. The technique involves generating, by an electronic apparatus (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet, a laptop, etc.), token codes from a cryptographic key. The technique further involves obtaining biometric measurements from a user, and outputting composite passcodes as the authentication codes. The composite passcodes include the token codes and biometric factors based on the biometric measurements. Additionally, the token codes and the biometric factors of the composite passcodes operate as authentication inputs to user authentication operations performed by the authentication server. In some arrangements, the biometric factors are results of facial recognition (e.g., via a camera), voice recognition (e.g., via a microphone), gate recognition (e.g., via an accelerometer), touch recognition and/or typing recognition (e.g., via a touchscreen or keyboard), combinations thereof, etc.
