1. A system for authenticating a passive smart device for unlocking an electronic lock, comprising:

  • one or more memory devices storing instructions; and

    one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to;

    receive an authentication request from a computing device, the authentication request comprising identification data associated with the passive smart device;

    receive secondary identification data from the computing device;

    determine whether at least a portion of the authentication request corresponds to authentication data stored in an authentication database;

    store the identification data associated with the passive smart device based on the determination that at least a portion of the authentication request corresponds with the authentication data;

    store the secondary identification data with the stored identification data;

    receive detection data corresponding to a detection of the passive smart device when the passive smart device enters a predetermined location range associated with the electronic lock;

    obtain, in response to the detection, an identifier from the passive smart device;

    obtain, within a predetermined time following the detection, secondary authentication data from the computing device;

    determine whether the obtained identifier corresponds with the stored identification data;

    determine whether the obtained secondary authentication data corresponds with the stored secondary identification data; and

    responsive to determining that (i) the obtained identifier corresponds with the stored identification data and (ii) the obtained secondary authentication data corresponds with the stored secondary identification data, direct the electronic lock to transition from a locked state to an unlocked state.
