Abstract
Examples of the disclosure enable managing a user account, such that a peripheral device is configured to interact with one or more user devices associated with the user account. In some examples, a device identity associated with the peripheral device is identified, and it is determined whether the device identity is associated with a user account. Upon determining that the device identity is associated with the user account, the peripheral device is paired with a user device associated with the user account without manually pairing the peripheral device with the user device. Examples of the disclosure enable the peripheral device to interact with one or more user devices in an efficient, user-friendly manner.
