Abstract

An identity authenticator receives a first authentication credential from a first application at a first computing device. The identity authenticator then determines that the first authentication credential is associated with a second authentication credential for the first application at a second computing device based on a stored authentication identity. The identity authenticator then provides a stored execution state for the first application to the first computing device, wherein the stored execution state is associated, based on the stored authentication identity, with at least one of the first authentication credential or the second authentication credential.
