Abstract
Disclosed are various approaches for authenticating a user through a voice assistant device and creating an association between the device and a user account. The request is associated with a network or federated service. The user is prompted to use a client device, such as a smartphone, to initiate an authentication flow. A soundwave is played through the voice assistant device that contains a secret key, which is then sent to an assistant connection service along with a token identifying the user or the user's device. An association between the user account and the voice assistant device can then be created.
