Abstract

An approach for establishing and managing authentication circles is disclosed. The circles may be used to facilitate management of accounts, goals, or resources of one or more entities, or to provide an integrated view of the circumstances of, for example, family members or other interrelated persons. A person receiving assistance with the management of one or more accounts need not disclose authentication credentials to persons helping manage the accounts, enhancing security. Members may view members and access accounts administered by separate computing systems without needing credentials for each member, account, and/or computing system. The multiple accounts (which may be held at multiple institutions) need not be accessed individually by each member of the authentication circle, saving time and computing resources of users.
