Abstract
Systems, methods, architectures, and computer program products for linking multiple devices are disclosed. In an example for linking a mobile device with a desktop device, an identifier of a mobile device can be received from a desktop computer. The identifier can be used to send a link to the mobile device. When the link is accessed, a code and a channel are generated. The mobile device is connected to the channel and the code is provided to the mobile device. The code is entered at the desktop device and the desktop device is connected to the channel responsive to the code being validated, thereby linking the desktop and mobile devices.
