Abstract

A technique allows for transparently managing, suspending, restoring, sharing, limiting and migrating user sessions on a device without having access to user credentials. A user may automatically log in and out of each or all their online accounts instantaneously and, in doing so, the user may share sessions without sharing passwords across client devices as well as with other authenticated and authorized users. Sharing may be done in a secure manner with the initiating-user being able to restrict shared session rights, as well as being able to remove access to each of the shared sessions.
