    摘要: Identifying as a guest a user of a mobile application on a mobile device includes: following a selection to use the mobile application in guest mode, sending by an access request to a web server of a web platform, including a device token generated by a trusted provider, generating by the web server a guest user ID and sending the guest user ID to the mobile application, generating a passcode and sending the passcode along with the device token to the trusted provider, relaying by the trusted provider through a push notification service the passcode to the mobile device and the mobile application, returning by the mobile application the passcode along with the guest user ID to the web server, verifying that the returned passcode matches the guest user ID and, in case of positive match, creating a user account in a database, using the guest user ID as identifier.
