1. A method comprising:
enrolling a first device instance as an authentication device of a first account in a multi-factor authentication factor system, wherein enrolling a first device instance comprises establishing a set of authentication credentials for a set of accounts on the first device instance; at the first device instance, collecting a reference biometric profile; transmitting the reference biometric profile to the multi-factor authentication system; at the multi-factor authentication factor system, associating the reference biometric profile with the first account; initiating enrollment of a second device instance of the first account; at the second device instance, collecting a second biometric profile; transmitting the second biometric profile to the multi-factor authentication system; comparing the second biometric profile to the reference biometric profile associated with the first account; and completing the enrollment of the second device instance enrollment according to a result of the comparison of the second biometric profile and the reference biometric profile, wherein completing the enrollment of the second device instance comprises, when the second biometric profile is confirmed to correspond to the reference biometric profile, establishing a second set of authentication credentials for the set of accounts on the second device instance.
