1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a subordinate device, a request for access to an application executing on the subordinate device;
presenting, in a graphical user interface of the subordinate device, an input screen, the input screen providing an indication of a request for an input code for access to the application;
in response to the presenting the input screen, obtaining, via a radio frequency transceiver of the subordinate device, an indication that a master device is within close proximity to the subordinate device;
in response to receiving the indication that the master device is within close proximity to the subordinate device, configuring the subordinate device to allow the input code to be input into the presented input screen of the graphical user interface; and
in response to a verification that the input code is associated with the application, providing access to the application on the subordinate device.

Abstract
Disclosed is a two-factor method for protecting access to content, device functionality accounts and the like through portable devices. A master device may facilitate a subordinate device'"'"'s access to the on-line account by situating the master device in close proximity to the unauthorized user'"'"'s portable device. Once within close proximity of one another, the devices may exchange information that may eventually allow the subordinate device to access an account, an application or the like.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer code for controlling a processor, the computer code including instructions to cause the processor to:
-
receive a request for access to an application executing on the processor; present, in a graphical user interface, an input screen, the input screen providing an indication of a request for an input code for access to the application; in response to a presentation of the input screen, obtain, via a radio frequency transceiver, an indication that a master device is within close proximity to the processor; in response to receipt of the indication that the master device is within close proximity to the processor, configure the processor to allow the input code to be input into the input screen of the graphical user interface; and in response to a verification that the input code is associated with the application, provide access to the application on the processor.

19. A first device, comprising:
-
a graphical user interface configured to present an input screen, the input screen configured to provide an indication of a request for a first input code for access to an application; a radio frequency transceiver configured to obtain, in response to a presentation of the input screen, an indication that a second device is within close proximity to the first device; and a processor configured to receive a request for access to the application executing on the first device, to configure the first device to allow, in response to a receipt of the indication that the second device is within close proximity to the first device, the first input code to be input into the input screen of the graphical user interface, and to provide, in response to a verification that the first input code is associated with the application, access to the application on the first device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
