Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for updating identification information of a user with service providers. An embodiment operates by a computing device sending a first piece of identification information describing a user to a service provider requiring a credential to update a user profile unique to the user. Upon receiving an indication that the piece of identification information sufficiently describes the user, the computing device generates an identifier unique to the particular user to identify the user when the computing device communicates with the service provider. Thereafter, the computing device sends an instruction to the service provider to update their user profile with a second piece of identification information. With the request, the computing device sends the identifier unique to the user, which allows the service provider to bypass the user credential and update the user profile with the second piece of identification information.
