Systems and methods for automatic user profile generation and authentication. One system includes a database storing user profile data for a plurality of users and an electronic processor communicatively coupled to the database. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from a computing device, a first usage indicator for a first user and a first user identifier for the first user, and to generate a probable user profile based on the first usage indicator and the first user identifier. The electronic processor is configured to retrieve, from the database, a plurality of previously-generated user profiles, and to determine, for each of the previously-generated user profiles, a confidence score based on the probable user profile. The electronic processor is configured to select an active user profile from the plurality of previously-generated user profiles when the confidence score exceeds a confidence threshold, and transmit, to the computing device, the active user profile.
