Abstract: An apparatus for securely providing a User ID and/or password to an loT device. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: establishing a first communication channel between a user's mobile device and an Internet of Things (loT) service: establishing a second communication channel between the loT service and an loT device, the loT device having been previously registered with the loT service; establishing a third communication channel between the loT device and a computer on which the user is connecting to the online service; receiving at the loT service a request from the mobile device to transmit a User ID and/or password for a particular online service to the loT device; and providing the User ID and/or password by the loT device to the computer over the third communication channel, the computer causing the User ID and/or password to be provided to the online service to authenticate the user.
