1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first digital fingerprint and associating the first digital fingerprint with a first application instance, operable on a first electronic device, the first application instance assigned as an authentication factor of a first account, wherein the first digital fingerprint is indicative of characteristics of the first electronic device;
receiving a request from a second application instance, the second application instance operable on a second electronic device;
wherein receiving the request comprises receiving a second digital fingerprint associated with the second application instance;
wherein the second digital fingerprint is indicative of characteristics of the second electronic device;
wherein the request is associated with the first account;
generating a comparison of the first digital fingerprint and the second digital fingerprint;
wherein generating the comparison comprises evaluating a match between the first digital fingerprint and the second digital fingerprint; and
processing the request according to the comparison of the first digital fingerprint and the second digital fingerprint.
