Abstract
The invention concerns a method and a login server for providing a user with a centralised login procedure. A user has registered in a login server two or more devices he is associated with. The user performs a first login procedure on a first device of the two or more devices. Login data representative of the first login are sent from the first device to the login server. The login server verifies the login data for authentication of the user for the first device. After authentication of the user by the login server, the login server accesses credentials associated with the user for the first device and sends said credentials to the first device to unlock the first device for the user. Further, the login server accesses credentials associated with the user for another device of the two or more devices and sends said credentials to said other device. The sent credentials are used to unlock said other device for the user.
