Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer-readable media are described herein for wirelessly transferring communication roles between devices, using technology such as near field communications ('NFC'), optical communication (e.g., barcodes), BlueTooth and so forth. In various embodiments, a first device may transfer, from the first device to a second device using near field communication, data used by the first device to communicate with a third device, to cause the second device to initiate communication with the third device based on the data. Likewise, in various embodiments, a first device may receive, from a second device using NFC, data used by the second device to communicate with a third device, and to initiate communication with the third device based on the received data.

Transfer of communication from one device to another

Apparatus, system, and method having a first counter to record a number of invalid authentication requests, a first timer to set a first time period based on a value of the first counter, and an authentication module associated with the first counter and the first timer to receive an initial authentication request that includes a username and when said username is invalid, the module is to invalidate any subsequent authentication requests under the username during the first time period regardless of whether the subsequent requests includes a valid username. The system further includes a communication medium. The method includes receiving an authentication request with new information in a first session, validating the new information, and caching the validated new information in the first session.
