A method includes operating a mobile device to establish a communications channel between the mobile device and a shared computing terminal. The shared computing terminal is accessible to a plurality of users other than a user of the mobile device. In response to authentication of the user of the mobile device with a remote computing device, the mobile device receives a code from the remote computing device. The mobile device provides the code to the shared computing terminal via the communications channel to enable the shared computing terminal to request a temporary access token from the remote computing device. The temporary access token is used by the shared computing terminal to launch a computing session with the remote computing device without transfer of a long-lived access token of the user from the mobile device to the shared computing terminal.
