Abstract
The current invention discloses methods, devices and systems for logging in a third party server through a browser application at a client terminal. After receiving a validation request from a third party server, the main server for the browser application may choose to grant or deny the request. The validation request, which may include a third party identifier, a user identifier, and a session key, can be triggered by a data access request from the browser application. If there is an active communication session between the client terminal and the server, the server may send an authorization request to the third party so that the third party server allows the client terminal to access non-sensitive data associated with the user identifier through the browser application without further validation of the data access request. The current invention provides additional convenience and security for third party login operations.
