authenticate the person by:
sending, to the first mobile device, a first instruction associated with the first authentication technique that triggers the first mobile device to play a first audio content;
sending, to the second mobile device, a second instruction associated with the second authentication technique that triggers the second mobile device to play a second audio content; and
determining that the person is authenticated based on detecting the first audio content and the second audio content via a microphone associated with the authentication device,
wherein the person is authenticated based on the first mobile device, the second mobile device, and the authentication device being co-located; and
