Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed to enable a user device to gain access to a network via a trusted device (e.g., a network device). The network device can obtain a user device identifier from the user device and can transmit the user device identifier along with a network device identifier to a computing device (e.g., a server associated with a service provider). The server can determine if the user device should be permitted to access the network. The server can return the results of the determination to the network device and/or the user device. If the determination is that the user device should be permitted to access the network, the user device can also receive network credentials. The user device can access the network with the network credentials.
