Multiple data store authentication

An apparatus for authenticating a first device to provide a service, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory to store information associated with a user of a first device, wherein the stored information includes a phone number associated with a second device of the user and the phone number is stored during an event;
• a processor to execute instructions stored in memory, wherein the processor is operable to:
• determine additional information is needed to authenticate the first device to provide a service to the first device related to data stored in one or more data stores associated with the service;
• authenticate the first device to provide the service to the first device based on the additional information received from the user,
• wherein authentication of the first device includes sending a notification message, via an intermediary server, to the second device, wherein the notification message is related to querying the user for the additional information;
• and
• send one or more notification messages related to the service, via the intermediary server, to the second device after authentication of the first device in response to new data being available at the one or more data stores associated with the service;
• a connection manager to manage one or more connections for exchanging one or more communications related to the service,
• wherein the one or more connections includes a first connection, via the intermediary server, that is an Internet Protocol (IP) connection maintained by the second device, and
• wherein the one or more connections includes a second connection for synchronizing data with the one or more data stores associated with the service;
• an interface to send, based on the stored information and the additional information, one or more communications to provide the service to the first device;
• and
• an interface to send one or more communications to provide the service to the second device,
• wherein the one or more communications to provide the service to the second device include communications exchanged with the second device via the intermediary server over the first connection, and
• wherein the one or more communications to provide the service to the second device include synchronization communications exchanged with the second device through the second connection, wherein the synchronization communications are initiated in response to the one or more notification messages.
