Abstract
A mobile device can receive, from an application installed on a wearable device, an authentication query. Based upon the authentication query, an application installed on the mobile device can be determined to have been authenticated. In response to determining that the application installed on the mobile device has been authenticated, a temporary password can be generated at the mobile device and converted into a vibration pattern. The vibration pattern can be vibrated at the mobile device. The temporary password sent from the mobile device can be compared with user input received via a tap interface on the wearable device. In response to determining that the user input corresponds to the temporary password, the application installed on the wearable device can be authenticated based on authentication parameters of the corresponding application on the mobile device.
