1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program, which when executed by at least one processing unit recovers access to a service associated with an account, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
- providing a login credential to log into the account to receive the associated service from a server set;
receiving an access continuation parameter (ACP) after logging into the account;
accessing the server set to receive the service;
receiving a rejection of a subsequent access to the server set to receive the service, the rejection being based at least in part on the login credential having been modified at the server set; and
responsive to receiving the rejection based at least in part on the login credential having been modified at the server set, providing the ACP to continue to receive the service without providing the modified login credential.

Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a program for recovering access to a service associated with an account. The program provides a login credential to log into the account to receive the associated service. Next, the program receives an access continuation parameter (ACP) after logging into the account. The program then accesses the service and receives a rejection of a subsequent access to the service. The program then provides the ACP in lieu of the login credential to continue to receive the service.

10. For a device, a method for recovering access to a service associated with an account, the method comprising:
-
submitting a login credential to log into the account to receive the associated service from a server set; receiving an access continuation parameter (ACP) after logging into the account; accessing the server set to receive the service; determining that a subsequent access to the server set to receive the service is rejected based at least on information corresponding to the login credential having been modified at the server; and providing the ACP in lieu of the login credential to continue to receive the service after the subsequent access to the server set to receive the service is rejected based at least on information corresponding to the login credential having been modified at the server. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A device comprising:
-
at least one processing unit and a non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program, which when executed by the processing unit recovers access to a service associated with an account, the program comprising sets of instructions for; providing a login credential to log into the account to receive the associated service from a server set; receiving an access continuation parameter (ACP) after logging into the account; accessing the server set to receive the service; receiving a rejection of a subsequent access to the server set to receive the service, the rejection being based at least in part on the login credential having been invalidated responsive to a non-deterministic event; and responsive to receiving the rejection of the subsequent access to receive the service based at least in part on the login credential having been invalidated responsive to the non-deterministic event, providing the ACP in lieu of the login credential to continue to receive the service without re-authenticating the login credential. - View Dependent Claims (20)
