Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for companion device authentication. A user of a first device may not have access to a service that can be provided by the first device. The service may be a streaming service, a cloud-based service, or the like. Companion device authentication can allow the user, or another user, to authorize access to the service at the first device, using a companion device to the first device. The first device and the companion device may exchange communications to nominate the companion device prior to notifying a user of the companion device of a companion device authentication request for the first device.

Abstract: A device implementing a system to associate a user account with a content output device includes at least one processor configured to receive an invitation to access content associated with a first user account on another device associated with a second user account, the other device being connected to a local area network. The at least one processor is further configured to send, to a server, a request for authorization to access the content associated with the first user account on the other device associated with the second user account, the request comprising information included with the invitation, and to receive, from the server, the authorization to access the content. The at least one processor is further configured to access, based at least in part on the authorization, the content associated with the first user account on the other device associated with the second user account.
