Abstract
Described is a process for securely authorizing access to media content from a first device to a second device. Access to content may be authorized by performing authentication from the first device. Information used for authentication (e.g. login information) is not shared with the second device. Instead, a token may be used to authenticate the second device. The authorization process may be done in a secure manner by sharing only the generated token with the second device. Authentication information may not be derived from the token, and accordingly, even if the second device is not secure or the token is exposed, authentication information remains secure.
