Abstract
Authenticating issues involving the re-authenticating of a first device that was previously authenticated are resolved by use of a second device which receives a notification of the failed authentication. The second device sends a response to the notification which is operable to facilitate re-authentication of the primary device and without requiring the user to provide credentials at the first device prior to obtaining the re-authentication at the primary device and/or without requiring the primary device to obtain a code to be entered into the secondary device and/or prior to the primary device being notified of a failure condition associated with the primary device.
