The device may receive user information associated with a user. The device may generate a user profile for the user that stores user information and authentication confirmation information. The device may provide a particular cryptographic key and information identifying the user profile. The device may receive a request to authenticate a secure session for a user device from an application server. The device may obtain, based on the user identifier, the authentication confirmation information associated with the user from a data structure storing one or more user profiles. The device may validate the particular response to the particular challenge code based on the authentication confirmation information. The device may provide information to the application server indicating that the secure session is validated for the user device based on validating the authentication information.

Universal anonymous cross-site authentication

An exemplary method includes a user computing device 1) determining current states, such as current integration states and/or current operational states, of software applications included in a suite of software applications relative to the user computing device, 2) identifying, based on the current states, access options for the software applications included in the suite of software applications, and 3) providing, by the user computing device for display, a graphical user interface that includes the access options configured to be selected by a user of the user computing device to access the software applications included in the suite of software applications. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Application shortcut user interface systems and methods

A method includes providing identifying information for a customer premises communication device to a provider network, wherein the customer premises communication device is a node of a customer premises network. The method may further include registering a communication channel between the customer premises communication device and the provider network. In addition, the method may include receiving at least one service alert message from the provider network using the communication channel. The type of service alert message is selected based on the customer premises communication device.

Service alert messages for customer premises communication devices

A system is configured to receive a selection of an accounts application from a user device associated with a first account. The system is further configured to determine a network identifier, associated with the user device, based on receiving the selection of the accounts application; determine whether the network identifier, associated with the user device, is associated with a second account; generate an association among the first account, the second account, and the user device, based on determining that the network identifier, associated with the user device, is associated with the second account; and cause the user device to present information regarding accounts associated with the user device, in a single interface on the user device. The system is further configured to receive a selection of one of the accounts associated with the user device and cause the user device to display information for the selected one of the accounts.

Automatic account detection and association

An approach is provided for monitoring traffic over a network link that is used to provide one or more services to one or more customers. A determination is made regarding whether a failure mode of the network link has occurred by comparing the monitored traffic to predetermined bandwidth criteria. A corrective action to be taken in response to the failure mode is selected, where selection of the corrective action to be taken is determined based on the failure mode. Further corrective actions selected iteratively from a predetermined list of successive actions are applied until the failure modes are addressed.
