Systems and methods are provided for binding an IoT device with an identity of a user, whereby action by the IoT device may be attributed to the user. One exemplary method includes receiving identifying data for a user, transmitting an OTP to the user, and receiving an OTP from the user. When the received OTP matches the transmitted OTP, the method includes compiling an identity for the user based on the identifying data, receiving an IoT device ID associated with an IoT device, and appending the IoT device ID to the identity of the user. The method further includes seeking authentication of the user at a communication device of the user, in response to a request indicator from the IoT device, and providing to the IoT device, in response, a confirmation of authentication of the user and/or a portion of the identifying data from the stored identity of the user.
