Abstract: In an approach for an access control system, a processor verifies an identity of a user in specified time intervals based on a first device associated with the user. A processor sends a validation token to a cloud-based system and updates a record associated with the user in the cloud-based system. A processor, in response to an attempt to access a secure area, transmits the validation token to a second device. A processor verifies the validation token by the second device with the cloud-based system.
