Abstract
Disclosed are various approaches for authenticating a user through a voice assistant device and creating an association between the device and a user account. The request is associated with a network or federated service. A user account can be implicitly authenticated based on proximity of a client device to the voice assistant device. An association between the user account and the voice assistant device can then be created.
