20120331536 | SEAMLESS SIGN-ON COMBINED WITH AN IDENTITY CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE - A method executable by a server system confirms the identity of a user of a client device. The method receives an activation request from the client device and maintains information corresponding to a destination resource requested by the client device. In response to receiving the activation request, the server system sends a code to a registered device of the user. After sending the code, the server system receives a verification request from the client device. The verification request includes a user-entered representation of the code. In response to receiving the verification request the client device is activated as a new registered device for the user, and the server system seamlessly provides the destination resource to the client device using the maintained information. | 12-27-2012 |
