Abstract
Techniques for managing secure login with authentication while viewing a unique code are described. In some examples, a requesting device displays a visual representation of data. An authenticating device detects the presence of the visual representation of data. The authenticating device prompts a user to provide authorization information at the authenticating device. The authenticating device receives a set of one or more inputs. The authenticating device transmits information authorizing access to content on the requesting device.
Claims60
A first electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, on the display of the first electronic device, a visual representation of data;
- receiving first information that the visual representation of data has been detected by a second electronic device;
- in response to receiving the first information, displaying, on the display of the first electronic device, a first prompt prompting a user to provide authentication information at the second electronic device for enabling access to restricted content on the first electronic device;
- receiving second information authorizing access to the restricted content on the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to receiving the second information, providing access to the restricted content on the first electronic device.
A method, comprising:
- at a first electronic device with a display:
- displaying, on the display of the first electronic device, a visual representation of data;
- receiving first information that the visual representation of data has been detected by a second electronic device;
- in response to receiving the first information, displaying, on the display of the first electronic device, a first prompt prompting a user to provide authentication information at the second electronic device for enabling access to restricted content on the first electronic device;
- receiving second information authorizing access to the restricted content on the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to receiving the second information, providing access to the restricted content on the first electronic device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a first electronic device with a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, on the display of the first electronic device, a visual representation of data;
- receiving first information that the visual representation of data has been detected by a second electronic device;
- in response to receiving the first information, displaying, on the display of the first electronic device, a first prompt prompting a user to provide authentication information at the second electronic device for enabling access to restricted content on the first electronic device;
- receiving second information authorizing access to the restricted content on the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to receiving the second information, providing access to the restricted content on the first electronic device.
