Abstract
A system may be configured to allow for network-based authentication of a user device, which may reduce or eliminate the need for a user to provide credentials. The authentication may be performed when the user device attempts to access content provided by a third party content provider. The network-based authentication may be performed by, or in conjunction with, a device that (a) is associated with the same telecommunications network as the user device, and (b) can authenticate the identity of the user device.
