Abstract
A method for authenticating a user for a web service includes receiving, at a first device, a request from a second device to authenticate the user for the web service and in response to the request, returning a code from the first device to the second device and generating, with the second device, a human-perceptible rendering including the code. The method further includes, capturing the human-perceptible rendering by a third device, providing an identifier of the user by the third device, identifying the code from the human-perceptible rendering, and granting access to the web service based on the code identified and the identifier of the user.
