Synchronizing device association data among computing devices

A computing device comprising:

• a data store to store device association data for peripheral devices, the device association data for a peripheral device describing how the computing device is to connect to the peripheral device;
• and
• a device association data synchronization module configured to:
• receive, from a service in response to a user logging into a user account of the service, device association data for each of one or more peripheral devices maintained and synchronized with the user account;
• determine a first set of peripheral devices can be automatically made available for use with the computing device;
• obtain, for at least one of a second set of peripheral devices that are not automatically made available for use with the computing device, additional credentials;
• and
• make available for use with the computing device the first set of peripheral devices and, using the obtained additional credentials, the at least one of the second set of peripheral devices.

A computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more computer-readable storage media having stored thereon multiple instructions executable by the one or more processors, that cause the one or more processors to perform acts including:
• receiving, from a service in response to a user logging into a user account of the service, device association data for each of one or more peripheral devices maintained and synchronized with the user account, the device association data for a peripheral device describing how to connect the peripheral device to the computing device;
• obtaining, for at least one of a second set of peripheral devices that are not automatically made available for use with the computing device, additional credentials;
• and
• making available for use with the computing device a first set of peripheral devices that are automatically available for use with the computing device and, using the obtained additional credentials, the at least one of the second set of peripheral devices.
