Abstract

A cloud client device identifies one or more devices within a predetermined range of the cloud client device operable to communicate with the cloud client device. The cloud client device pairs with one or more of the devices. To provide secure access to the cloud client device and to other functionality provided by the paired devices, the cloud client device accepts tones as a password. The cloud client device receives a password after a prompt as one or more tones and translates the tones for comparison with the password for the cloud client device. Access is allowed if the translated tones match the password for the cloud client device.
