Authenticating a user account with a content management system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a first user device, at a content management system an identifier associated with a second user device, wherein the first user device is associated with a verified user account, wherein the content management system maintains a database of user accounts and identifiers;
generating, based on the database and via a processor at the content management system, a link, comprising a security code associated with the verified user account and wherein the security code is unique to the verified user account and access platform; and
sending the link to the second user device by using the identifier, wherein the link, when accessed at the second user device, is configured to automatically authenticate an application associated with the content management system to access the verified user account on the second user device using the security code.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for authenticating a user account with a content management system are disclosed. A synchronized content management system may receive an identifier via a first access platform. The identifier may be associated with a device. The content management system can generate a link based on the identifier and the device. The link may be then send to the device by using the identifier. When accessed by the device, the link may authenticate a user account associated with the device at a second access platform.

10. A system comprising:
-
a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; receiving, at a second device associated with a user account, a link from a content management system, wherein the content management system associates the second device to a verified user account based on an identifier received at the content management system from a first device and wherein the content management system maintains a database of user accounts and identifiers, the link comprising a security code that uniquely identifies the second device and the user account based on the identifier; accessing the link at the second device; and by using the code, automatically authenticating an application associated with the content management system allowing the application to access the verified user account on the second device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A computer-readable storage device storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, from a first user device, at a content management system, an identifier associated with a second user device, wherein the first user device is associated with a verified user account, wherein the content management system maintains a database of user accounts and identifiers; generating, based on the database, at the content management system, a link, comprising a security code associated with the verified user account and wherein the security code is unique to the verified user account and access platform; and sending the link to the second user device by using the identifier, wherein the link, when accessed by the second user device, is configured to automatically authenticate the second user device using the security code and associate the second user device with the verified user account.
