1. A method comprising:
receiving, by an authentication server from a client device of a user, via a session between the authentication server and an authentication service executing on the client device, a request including a new device key of the client device generated by the authentication service, an immutable identifier for the user, and a biometric image captured during the session by a camera of the client device;
authenticating, by the authentication server, the biometric image as captured by the camera of the client device during the session;
identifying, by the authentication server, from a plurality of authentication profiles, a subset of authentication profiles, the subset of authentication profiles comprising two or more authentication profiles having respective immutable identifiers which match the immutable identifier from the request; and
linking, by the authentication server, responsive to determining that one or more features of the biometric image match features of at least one profile image of an authentication profile of the subset of authentication profiles, the new device key of the client device with the authentication profile, to register the client device with the authentication profile.
