1. A computer-implemented method to authenticate users to allow access to applications on user computing devices, comprising:

  • communicating, by a mobile computing devices, a request for user authorization data to two or more authentication technologies operating on the mobile computing device associated with a user;

    receiving, by the mobile computing devices, the user authentication data from the two or more authentication technologies operating on the mobile computing device;

    comparing, by the mobile computing devices, the user authentication data to a set of stored authorization data associated with the user;

    identifying, by the mobile computing devices, an authentication state of the user for each of the two or more authentication technologies based on a match of the user authentication data and the set of stored user authentication data;

    determining, by the mobile computing devices, that a match exists for the user authentication data for a first authentication technology of the two or more authentication technologies and the set of stored user authentication data, and that a match does not exist for the user authentication data for a second authentication technology of the two or more authentication technologies and the set of stored user authentication data;

    allowing, by the mobile computing device, access to a first application of the one or more applications operating on the mobile computing device based on the determination; and

    denying, by the mobile computing device, access to a second application of the one or more applications operating on the mobile computing device based on the determination.
