Abstract
Systems and methods provide a user with secure access to a web site at a first client device without having to enter login information, such as a username and password, at that device. For example, the first device may request access to user information from a server system. The server may generate a session ID, associate it with the first device, and encode it into a bar code that is displayed at the first device. Using camera functions, a second client device may identify and decode the bar code to determine the session ID. The login information may be entered into the second device in order to establish a secure connection with the server. The second device may transmit the session ID to the server system. The server may identify the first client device based on the common session ID and transmit the requested user information to the first device.
