Abstract
Providing for single sign on functionality implemented for a network-enabled display device is described herein. By way of example, single sign on functionality can comprise accessing stored login credentials for a set of online content or service accounts, and initiating login requests to respective online servers for these accounts in response to a successful user verification or successful login to a subscriber account associated with the network-enabled display device. A user profile created for the network-enabled display device can comprise login credentials for online multimedia television content/services, and include login credentials for one or more other online accounts. Thus, upon successfully logging into a user'"'"'s television services, other online accounts can be automatically logged in and access provided over the network-enabled display device, significantly reducing overhead involved in accessing online content from multiple service providers.
