    initiating, by the user device, a storage of the authentication context in a first cache in the user device associated with the interface;

    converting, by the user device, the authentication context into a converted authentication context based, at least in part, on an authentication protocol associated with a second service, wherein when the authentication context is cookie-based, the converted authentication context is token-based, and when the authentication context is token-based, the converted authentication context is cookie-based; and

    initiating, by the user device, a population of the converted authentication context to a second cache in the user device associated with the second service, the second cache not directly linked to the interface.
