Abstract
A mobile device is related to a user account. An agent implemented as processor instructions on a computing device sends login information to a service provider server. The service provider server compares the login information to the user account, performs a proximity check of the mobile device and the computing device, and sends authorization to the agent to approve an exchange of data with an application on the computing device. In some implementations the service provider may be an authorization service provider. Alternatively the service provider may be a wireless communications service provider and the mobile device is a cellular phone. In some implementations the mobile device is one of a card or a key fob that may include a biometric reader.
