Abstract
A desktop is unlocked or locked using a mobile client device, such as a smart phone, tablet, smart watch, etc. The authentication mechanism of the mobile client device, such as fingerprint, facial recognition, voice recognition, username and password, is leveraged for faster, less-cumbersome user authentication on the desktop. In this vein, a client device is added to an authentication agent on the desktop, and the desktop recognizes successful attempts to access the mobile client device as a method of unlocking or locking the desktop.
