Abstract
Systems and methods are described for accessing a first user device using a digital badge from a second user device. The digital badge can include information that can be used to identify and authenticate a user profile. In an example, the first and second user devices can be enrolled in a system for managing user devices. A user can select to login to the first user device using a digital badge. The first user device can enable a wireless communication protocol and broadcast a digital badge request that is recognizable by other enrolled devices. The second user device can detect the broadcast and send its digital badge to the first user device. The first user device can send an access request and the digital badge to a server. The server can verify the digital badge, authenticate the user, and notify the first user device. The first user device can then grant the user access without the user inputting any credentials.
