Abstract
A computer implemented method and system for near field communication authentication sharing techniques is disclosed. The method comprises providing user credentials to access an application on a first device; sending a request to share the authentication with a second device; in response to the request, receiving an authentication code; and transmitting the authentication code to the second device, wherein sharing enables the second device to access the application on the second device without providing user credentials.
Claims20
A computer implemented method for near field communication (NFC) authorization sharing, comprising:
- providing user credentials as authentication to access an application on a first device;
- transmitting a request to share the authentication with a second device;
- in response to the request, receiving an authentication code;
- and
- transmitting the authentication code to the second device, wherein sharing enables the second device to access the application on the second device without providing user credentials.
A system for NFC authorization sharing between devices comprises:
- a first user device comprising:
- a) at least one processor;
- b) at least one input device;
- and
- c) at least one storage device storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method including:
- providing user credentials as authentication to access an application on a first device;
- sending a request to share the authentication with a second device;
- in response to the request, receiving an authentication code;
- and
- sharing the authentication code with the second device by transmitting the authentication code to the second device, wherein sharing enables the second device to access the application on the second device without authentication;
- a second user device comprising:
- a) at least one processor;
- b) at least one input device;
- and
- c) at least one storage device storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method including:
- receiving an authentication code from the first user device;
- requesting access to the application on the second device;
- transmitting the authentication code to an authentication server;
- in response to transmitting the authentication code, receiving an access token;
- and
- accessing the application using the second device;
- and
- an authentication server comprising:
- a) at least one processor;
- b) at least one input device;
- and
- c) at least one storage device storing processor-executable instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method including:
- verifying user credentials for an application on a first user device;
- transmitting to the first user device, an authentication code;
- receiving the authentication code from the second user device;
- and
- providing an access token to the second device to facilitate access to the application on the second device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform a method for near field communication authorization, comprising:
- providing user credentials as authentication to access an application on a first device;
- sending a request to share the authentication with a second device;
- in response to the request, receiving an authentication code;
- and
- transmitting the authentication code to the second device, wherein sharing enables the second device to access the application on the second device without providing user credentials.
