Abstract
An authorization prompt issued from a server is detected, and previously-entered account information, is accessed on a user device. A selectable display element corresponding to each set of entered account information is displayed. User selection or actuation of a given display element is received, and the corresponding account information is retrieved and used to log onto the server that issued the authentication prompt.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A computing system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions configure the computing system to:
- detect an authentication prompt from a server;
- access a collection of authentication information associated with a user;
- and
- in response to a determination that the authentication information in the collection is not associated with the server,
- generate a filter criterion based on the authentication prompt from the server;
- identify one or more sets of authentication information by filtering the collection of authentication information based on the filter criterion, wherein the one or more sets comprise some, but not all, of the collection of authentication information;
- for each particular set of authentication information in the one or more sets, generate a selectable display element corresponding to the particular set of authentication information;
- generate a user interface display that displays the one or more selectable display elements;
- receive a user selection input selecting one of the display elements;
- and
- automatically respond to the authentication prompt from the server using the set of authentication information that corresponds to the selected display element.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting an authentication prompt from a server;
- accessing account information associated with a user;
- identifying, from the account information, a plurality of sets of the account information that are associated with the server;
- based on the authentication prompt, identifying a filter criterion;
- based on the filter criterion, filtering the plurality of sets of account information to select one or more of the sets, the one or more sets comprising some, but not all, of the plurality of sets;
- for each particular set of account information in the one or more sets, generating a selectable display element corresponding to the particular set of account information;
- generating a user interface display that displays the one or more selectable display elements;
- receiving a user selection input selecting one of the display elements;
- and
- automatically responding to the authentication prompt from the server using the set of account information that corresponds to the selected display element

A computing system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions configure computing system to:
- detect an authentication prompt from a server;
- access a collection of authentication information associated with a user;
- determine whether any authentication information in the collection is associated with the server;
- in response to a determination that only a single set of authentication information in the collection is associated with the server, automatically respond to the authentication prompt using the single set of authentication information;
- and
- in response to a determination that a plurality of sets of authentication information in the collection are associated with the server,
- generate a filter criterion based on the authentication prompt from the server;
- apply the filter criterion to the plurality of sets to identify one or more sets of filtered authentication information;
- for each particular set in the one or more sets of filtered authentication information, generate a selectable display element representing the particular set;
- generate a user interface display that displays the selectable display elements;
- receive a user selection input selecting one of the display elements;
- and
- automatically respond to the authentication prompt from the server using the set of authentication information that corresponds to the selected display element.
