Abstract
A system in which a device may automatically provision another device with credentials, at the behest of a cloud-based service, based in part on the physical proximity of the device to be provisioned. The provisioning device and the device to be provisioned may use a radio access technology (RAT) with a limited radio range. Account information associated with the device to be provisioned is known to the cloud-based service, which authenticates the device to be provisioned via the device with credentials.
