Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A method comprising:
generating a plurality of authentication pathways for an authentication profile for a communication device of a user based on user data detectable by a communication device of a user via a plurality of device components for the communication device;
receiving an authentication request via the communication device;
determining, at a time of the authentication request, a set of usable components from the plurality of device components for the authentication request, wherein the set of usable components comprise a subset of the plurality of device components that are usable for detecting the user data at the time of the authentication request;
identifying, based on iterating through the set of usable components from the plurality of device components for a detection of the user data at the time of the authentication request, one or more available authentication pathways from the plurality of pathways available to be used for the authentication request, the one or more available authentication pathways being selectable based on a predetermined metric.
