Abstract
Methods and systems for providing a wireless communication service are disclosed. A device identifier for a wireless communication service can be used to generate a connection profile (e.g., communication profile, wide-area network profile, service profile, network profile, etc.) for the wireless communication service that requires credentials for authentication. The connection profile can be generated in response to a user accessing or signing up for the wireless communication service. The connection profile can comprise a username that includes and/or mirrors the device identifier and a password generated by inputting the device identifier into a predefined function. The connection profile also can comprise an authentication identifier. A service provider applies a specific type of authentication for devices that provide the authentication identifier as part of an authentication request message.
