Short-range cross-device authorization

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor of a first computing device;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by the first computing device, an authorization token request that is transmitted by a second computing device over a wireless network, the authorization token request transmitted by the second computing device responsive to a selection of the first computing device in a selection user interface (UI) that is presented on the second computing device and that identifies the first computing device as:
• i) being within a threshold distance of the second computing device, and ii) being authorized to access a remote service;
• responsive to receiving the authorization token request, presenting on the first computing device a confirmation UI to request confirmation that the second computing device is to be granted authorization to access the remote service;
• and
• responsive to the confirmation, provided through the confirmation UI, that the second computing device is to be granted authorization to access the remote service, transmitting at least one confirmation message to cause an authorization token to be communicated to the second computing device to provide the second computing device access the remote service.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a first computing device, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by the first computing device, an authorization token request that is transmitted by a second computing device over a wireless network, the authorization token request transmitted by the second computing device responsive to a selection of the first computing device in a selection user interface (UI) that is presented on the second computing device and that identifies the first computing device as:
• i) being within a threshold distance of the second computing device, and ii) being authorized to access a remote service;
• responsive to receiving the authorization token request, presenting on the first computing device a confirmation UI to request confirmation that the second computing device is to be granted authorization to access the remote service;
• and
• responsive to the confirmation, provided through the confirmation UI, that the second computing device is to be granted authorization to access the remote service, transmitting at least one confirmation message to cause an authorization token to be communicated to the second computing device to provide the second computing device access the remote service.
