Abstract

Systems and methods for transmitting user data among user devices u are disclosed. An example method includes: wirelessly detecting, using a trusted user device, presence of one or more user devices within a predefined proximity to the trusted user device. The trusted device stores a user credential associated with an application installed on the trusted user device. The method further includes: determining that the application is installed on a first user device in the one or more user devices; identifying a user indication to enable the user credential on the first user device; responsive to identifying the user indication, wirelessly transmitting the user credential from the trusted user device to the first user device; and enabling the user credential in the application installed on the first user device.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a non-transitory memory;
and
one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to execute instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
wirelessly detecting, using a trusted user device, presence of one or more user devices within a predefined proximity to the trusted user device, wherein the trusted device stores a user credential associated with an application installed on the trusted user device;
determining that the application is installed on a first user device different from the trusted user device in the one or more user devices;
identifying a user indication to enable use of the user credential on the first user device;
responsive to identifying the user indication, wirelessly transmitting the user credential from the trusted user device to the first user device;
and
enabling the use of the user credential in the application installed on the first user device.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

wirelessly detecting, using a trusted user device, presence of one or more user devices within a predefined proximity to the trusted user device, wherein the trusted device stores a user credential associated with an application installed on the trusted user device;
determining that the application is installed on a first user device different from the trusted user device in the one or more user devices;
identifying a user indication to enable use of the user credential on the first user device;
responsive to identifying the user indication, wirelessly transmitting the user credential from the trusted user device to the first user device;
and
enabling the use of the user credential in the application installed on the first user device.
