Abstract
In a general aspect, a method can include navigating, by a browser of a client system, to an online service and detecting, by the browser, access to the online service. The method can further include determining, by a login module of the browser, an association between the online service and a user-application account included in the browser, the association being included in a list of trusted services included in the login module. The method can also include providing, by the browser to the online service, a username and password for authentication by the online service and receiving, by the browser from the online service, an authenticated credential corresponding with the username and password. Responsive to receiving the authenticated credential, the method can still further include logging into the user-application account, by the login module, using the authenticated credential.
