  • Systems and methods for authenticating a user based on self-portrait media content
    Patent number: 10277588
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive an indication that a user is attempting to authenticate as a particular identity. A media content item captured using a front-facing device camera can be acquired. The media content item can include graphical data representing the user. The graphical data can be analyzed, at least in part, to produce a confidence score representing a likelihood that the user corresponds to the particular identity. The user can be authenticated as the particular identity when the confidence score at least meets a specified authentication threshold.
