Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating frictionless credential provisioning on a user computing device are provided. Special 'frictionless tokens' (e.g. ownership tokens) may be generated for each existing credential in a user's digital wallet. Such tokens may be stored in a user's AE locker (e.g. iCloud keychain) and synchronized across the user's devices using any suitable security features (e.g. using any suitable secure enclave processor (“SEP”)-based encryption). Such a token, as may be stored in a device's SEP, may be configured only to be read on that physical device. In this manner, the user may no longer need provide further proof of ownership of a credential or be hassled by passing any other challenge, but, instead, the additional security may be achieved using the ownership token, which may use the user's AE or device passcode in association with the user's physical device (and its SEP).

Proof of affinity to a secure event for frictionless credential management

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for requesting assets be added to an asset account.

Requests to add assets to an asset account

This application relates to re-provisioning of credentials, such as payment credentials, on a second electronic device from one or more credentials previously provisioned on a first electronic device. The one or more previously provisioned credentials may be stored on an external storage system and may be retrieved by the second electronic device for re-provisioning. The second electronic device may re-provision an instance of the one or more retrieved credentials for use in electronic transactions on the second electronic device using a secure element linked to the second electronic device and information that is unique to the one or more credentials being re-provisioned to the second electronic device.

Provisioning credentials on multiple electronic devices

A device implementing an inter-device credential transfer system may include at least one processor that is configured to receive a request to transfer a transaction credential from a first device to a second device, the transaction credential being associated with a stored monetary value and the request comprising a transaction credential identifier of the transaction credential. The at least one processor is further configured to prevent, responsive to the request, the transaction credential from being utilized for payment transactions by the first device. The at least one processor is further configured to provision an instance of the transaction credential on the second device. The at least one processor is further configured to cause the instance of the transaction credential to be activated on the second device with a balance corresponding to the stored monetary value associated with the transaction credential.
