Abstract
Implementations disclose methods and systems for facilitating an automated user login into a first application hosted by a first-screen device. A method includes detecting, by a second-screen device, a message transmitted by the first-screen device over a network; determining, based on the message, that the first application hosted by the first-screen device is requesting user authentication for the automated user login; presenting, via a second application hosted by the second-screen device, a prompt for user input indicating user acceptance of the automated user login; receiving the user input indicating the user acceptance of the automated user login; and responsive to the user input, transmitting an authentication code from the message to the server device to perform the user authentication for the automated user login into the first application.
