Abstract
An online system allows a user to provide information for accessing the online system to a third party system, which communicates the information to the online system. Based on the received information, the online system determines whether the user is authorized to access the third party system. Additionally, the online system determines whether an application is associated with the third party system. When determining whether an application is associated with the third party system, the online system may also account for characteristics of a client device associated with the user. If an application is associated with the third party system, the online system sends information for installing the application to the client device associated with the user.
