Abstract

Techniques for processing user logins are described. One example method includes receiving a first user input to zoom out a first application, wherein the first application is displayed on a first area of a screen of a device; zooming out the first application to be displayed on a second area of the screen; and displaying an icon of a second application on a third area of the screen, wherein a user has logged into the second application on the device; receiving a second user input to drag the displayed icon of the second application from the third area to the second area; transmitting login authorization information of the second application to the first application; and submitting, by the first application, the login authorization information to a server of the second application through a server of the first application; and authorizing logging into the first application on the device.
