Abstract
A method for establishing a trusted session between a first computing device and a computer server includes obtaining identifying information for the first computing device and a second computing device. The identifying information includes identifying information corresponding to the networks to which each of the computing devices are directly connected. Based on the identifying information it may be determined that there is sufficient correspondence between the first and second computing devices. If so, an indication is sent to the second computing device requesting confirmation that the first computing device should be authenticated to the account. An indication confirming this may then be received and, responsive thereto, the first computing device is authenticated to the account. Related computer systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
