This application relates to establishing a communication session between a host device and a trusted client device. A host device generates a one-time secret (OTS) and transmits the OTS to a trusted client device via an out-of-band communication channel. The trusted client device verifies an identity of a user of the trusted client device utilizing one or more sensors of the trusted client device. Responsive to verifying the identity of the user, the trusted client device negotiates an encryption key with the host device based on the OTS. The trusted client device then establishes a communication session with the host device utilizing the encryption key. The communication session can be utilized to pass credentials in a protected manner from the trusted client device to the host device that enable the host device to access a user account associated with a service.

Techniques for signing into a user account using a trusted client device

Techniques for managing secure login with authentication while viewing a unique code are described. In some examples, a requesting device displays a visual representation of data. An authenticating device detects the presence of the visual representation of data. The authenticating device prompts a user to provide authorization information at the authenticating device. The authenticating device receives a set of one or more inputs. The authenticating device transmits information authorizing access to content on the requesting device.
