FACILITATION OF SERVICE LOGIN
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating service login, comprising:
- a service login management component configured to;
register a first device as having authorization to authenticate a user for accessing a service from a second device;
store device authorization information on the second device, the device authorization information specifying that the first device is registered as having authorization to authenticate the user;
receive an access request for the service from the second device, the access request specifying a username and the device authorization information;
query an authorization database using the username to identify an encryption key and a push token;
encrypt a request using the encryption key to create an encrypted request;
send the encrypted request to the first device using the push token; and
responsive to receiving a login user authorization notification from the first device in response to the encrypted request, log the user into the service on the second device.

Abstract
As provided herein, a first device may be registered as authorized to authenticate a user login into a service from a second device (e.g., a smart phone may be used to log the user into a webmail service on a computer without the user having to enter a password through the computer). Responsive to the user attempting to access the service through the second device, a login interface may be displayed on the first device. The user may confirm or deny that the user wants to log into the service on the second device, thus allowing the user to seamlessly log into the service on the second device (e.g., without entering a password) while mitigating unauthorized logins into the service from unknown devices. Further, the user may use the first device to delegate the authority to authenticate the user login into the service to one or more other devices.
