• a processing device, coupled to the wireless module and to the memory, to execute the instructions for the application, wherein the instructions cause the processing device to:
• receive information identifying a device that has not been bound to any user account, wherein the application supports a plurality of registration techniques, and wherein the application is logged in to a user account recognized by a registration service;
• identify a registration technique supported by the device that is to be used for registration of the device;
• determine information associated with the registration technique;
• send the information associated with the registration technique to the registration service;
• and
• receive a message from the registration service, wherein the message indicates that the information satisfied a criterion of the registration technique and comprises a notification that the device is bound to the user account.
