1. A computer-implemented method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
obtaining an indication of a request to access a prescription resource, the request obtained via an application at an electronic computing device associated with a user;
identifying a plurality of modes of communication modes usable to perform a prerequisite authentication action for accessing the prescription resource, the plurality of modes comprising a voice-based authentication mode;
selecting the voice-based authentication mode for use in performing the authentication action, the selecting being based upon whether or not the user has enabled one or more hardware access permissions of the application to access one or more hardware components associated with use of at least one of the plurality of communication modes; and
facilitating access to the prescription resource by the user to access the prescription resource upon an indication of completion of a voice-based authentication by the user in combination with one or more further authentication factors.
