Abstract
In general, aspects of the disclosure are directed towards techniques for initiating an authorization flow with a user to enable a user interface-limited client computing device to obtain access to protected resources hosted by a resource service. In some aspects, a computing device comprises at least one processor. The computing device also comprises a short-range wireless communication module operable by the at least one processor to receive, using short-range wireless communication, an authentication request from a client device. The computing device also comprises an authorization module operable by the at least one processor to receive authorization to provide at least one security credential to the client device, wherein the authorization module is further configured to, responsive to receiving the authorization, send an indication of the authorization to an authentication service.

31. A method comprising:
-
sending, by a client device to a mobile computing device and using short-range wireless communication, an authorization request for authorization to exchange information with a resource service that hosts a protected resource; and receiving, by the client device and responsive to the authorization request, at least one security credential originated by an authorization service, wherein the at least one security credential provides the client device with the authorization to exchange information with the resource service that hosts the protected resource, the protected resource associated with the at least one security credential. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)
