In a general aspect, a method can include navigating, by a browser of a client system, to an online service and detecting, by the browser, access to the online service. The method can further include determining, by a login module of the browser, an association between the online service and a user-application account included in the browser, the association being included in a list of trusted services included in the login module. The method can also include providing, by the browser to the online service, a username and password for authentication by the online service and receiving, by the browser from the online service, an authenticated credential corresponding with the username and password. Responsive to receiving the authenticated credential, the method can still further include logging into the user-application account, by the login module, using the authenticated credential.

Pass through service login to application login

A system provides a graphical user interface element in a browser. The browser provides multiple different identities for the browser, each of the multiple different identities associated with a different user, each of the multiple different identities being associated with a plurality of accounts. Upon receiving a selection of the graphical user interface element from a first user, the system matches the first user with a first identity that is stored by the browser and associated with the first user. Upon receiving a second selection of the graphical user interface element from a second user, the system matches the second user with a second identity that is stored by the browser and associated with the second user.

Browser based identity with multiple login

Pass through service login for an application can include receiving, within a client system, a credential from a Web-based service responsive to a successful authentication of a user of the client system to the Web-based service. The user can be logged into the application executing within the client system using the credential.

This disclosure is directed for improved techniques for configuring a device to generate a secondary password based at least in part on a secure authentication key. The techniques of this disclosure may, in some examples, provide for capturing, by a computing device, an image of a display of another computing device. The captured image includes at least one encoded graphical image, such as a barcode, that includes an indication of the content of a secure authentication key. The computing device may use the secure authentication key to generate a secondary password to be used in conjunction with a primary password to gain access to a password-protected web service.

Image-based key exchange

Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for providing an encryption key to a user are provided. The system may include a key storage module, an interface module, and an authentication module. The key storage module may be configured to store an encryption key for a user on an encryption key server, wherein the encryption key is used with user data on a data storage server. The interface module may be configured to receive a request for the encryption key from a client machine associated with the user. The authentication module may be configured to authenticate the user, wherein the interface module may further be configured to transmit the encryption key to the client machine in response to authenticating the user.
