Methods, systems, and media for pairing devices to complete a task using an application request

A method for pairing devices for completing tasks, the method comprising:

• identifying, at a first user device, an indication of a task to be completed;
• generating a passcode corresponding to the task to be completed and required to be entered by a user of a second user device;
• transmitting, by the first user device to a server:
• first information indicating the task to be completed second information identifying the first user device;
• a request identifier;
• and the passcode corresponding to the task to be completed and required to be entered by the user of the second user device, wherein the request identifier is different from the passcode;
• receiving, by the second user device from the user of the second user device, the passcode;
• determining, by the second user device, whether there is a pending task request corresponding to the passcode;
• determining whether a first predetermined duration of time has elapsed;
• in response to determining that the first predetermined duration of time has elapsed, transmitting, from the first user device to the server, a first request to determine whether the task has been completed by the second user device;
• and
• in response to receiving, from the server, an indication that the task has been completed by the second user device, retrieving data corresponding to the task from the server.
