Abstract
Aspects of the invention can log a user into a primary device in a more efficient manner. For example, aspects of the invention may eliminate the need for the user to supply user credentials directly to a primary device. Instead, the companion device recognizes relevant primary devices located proximate to the companion device and automatically initiates a user login to the primary device without user intervention. Aspects of the invention can automatically login a user to known and unknown primary devices.
