1. An authentication server, comprising:

  • a credentials component configured to receive an authentication request from a client device for an authentication service, wherein the authentication request includes a client device identifier (ID) associated with the client device;

    a memory coupled to the credential component, wherein the memory is configured to store the client device ID;

    an authorization component coupled to the memory, wherein the authorization component is configured to;

    provide time-limited authentication credentials for a user of a primary application of the authentication service,wherein the credential component is further configured to receive, from another device, an updated authentication request for the authentication service, in response to the primary application for which the time-limited authentication credentials were given or one or more dependent applications that depend on the primary application of the authentication service being utilized on the another client device,wherein the updated authentication request includes a different client device ID associated with the another client device, andwherein the memory is further configured to store the different client device ID; and

    a transactional component coupled to the memory and authorization component, wherein the transactional component is configured to;

    transmit the different client device ID associated with the another client device to a push server that corresponds to the authentication service; and

    transmit the client device ID associated with the client device from which the authentication request has been received to the push server,wherein the push server pushes content, formatted in one format, to the another client device and pushes the content, formatted in another format, to the client device, andwherein overall system redundancy is eliminated or reduced and communication is enhanced.
