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 example computer-implemented method includes verifying a user and, in response to the verification, compiling and storing identifying data for the user. The method also includes receiving an IoT device ID associated with an IoT device, from a communication device associated with the user, and appending the IoT device ID to the identifying data for the user. The method then includes receiving a request indicator from the IoT device, seeking authentication of the user at the communication device, and in response to the request indicator and the authentication of the user, provisioning, to the IoT device, at least a portion of the identifying data for the user.
