摘要
A system and method for providing access credentials for a wireless network is provided. The system and method comprises sending a request for access credentials for a wireless network never previously accessed from a requesting client device to a connection helper service hosted by a server. The connection helper service determines a subset of user accounts that have the access credentials for the wireless network stored in an associated remote database. The connection helper service then searches social media to determine whether any of the subset of user accounts are connected with a user account associated with the requesting client device. If there is a connection, then the connection helper service facilitates requesting permission to acquire the access credentials from a remote database associated with a user account for the connection with the access credentials. In this manner, access to the wireless network is provided without manually entering access credentials.
