Virtual desktop client connection continuity

A computing system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing system to perform the steps of:
• receiving a session handoff message transmitted from a first client device to a second client device over a short-range wireless connectivity protocol, the first client device operating in sender mode and having a virtual desktop session established with a virtual desktop executing on a remote server, the second client device operating in receiver mode, the session handoff message including session information associated with the virtual desktop session;
• displaying to a user of the second client device, an option for transferring the virtual desktop session from the first client device to the second client device;
• receiving, on the second client device, input indicating acceptance of the session handoff message;
• and
• in response to said input, initiating a session handoff process to log the second client device into the virtual desktop using the session information received from the first client device, wherein the session handoff process is completed without requesting authentication information from the user.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising one or more sequences of instructions, the instructions when executed by one or more processors causing the one or more processors to execute the operations of:

• receiving a session handoff message transmitted from a first client device to a second client device over a short-range wireless connectivity protocol, the first client device operating in sender mode and having a virtual desktop session established with a virtual desktop executing on a remote server, the second client device operating in receiver mode, the session handoff message including session information associated with the virtual desktop session;
• displaying to a user of the second client device, an option for transferring the virtual desktop session from the first client device to the second client device;
• receiving, on the second client device, input indicating acceptance of the session handoff message;
• and
• in response to said input, initiating a session handoff process to log the second client device into the virtual desktop using the session information received from the first client device, wherein the session handoff process is completed without requesting authentication information from the user.
