1. A system, comprising:
- a sensor to detect a first authentication device associated with a user,a central controller connected to the sensor to receive an indication of a detection of the first authentication device associated with the user; and
an electronic device connected to the central controller to;
receive the indication of the detection of the first authentication device associated with the user from the central controller, wherein the electronic device is to initiate a startup upon receiving the indication of the detection of the first authentication device;
detect a second authentication device associated with the user, wherein the electronic device is to transition to a fully operational mode upon detection of the second authentication device; and
upon receiving the indication of the detection of the first authentication device and detection of the second authentication device, allow access to the electronic device to the user, andwherein the central controller is to associate the user with the electronic device upon receiving the indication of the detection of the first authentication device.

Abstract
An example method includes receiving an indication of a first level of authentication for an electronic device, the first authentication being associated with a first authentication device associated with the user; receiving an indication of a second level of authentication for the electronic device, the second authentication being associated with a second authentication device associated with the user, the second authentication device being different from the first authentication device; and upon receiving the indication of at least the first level of authentication and the second level of authentication, allow access to the electronic device.

9. An electronic device, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory device including computer program code, the memory device and the computer program code, with the processor, to cause the electronic device to; receive an indication from a central controller of a detection of a first authentication device associated with a user, the central controller associating the user with the electronic device, wherein upon the electronic device receiving the indication of detection of the first authentication device, initiate a startup of the electronic device; detect a second authentication device associated with the user, wherein the electronic device is to transition to a fully operational mode upon detection of the second authentication device; and upon receiving the indication of the detection of the first authentication device and detection of the second authentication device, allow access to the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (10)
