Bootstrapping authentication of second application via confirmation by first application

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments that facilitate bootstrap authentication of a second application by way of a user confirmation via a first application, where the first application is authenticated using trusted credentials. A security credential for a user account is received from a user. A first application is authenticated with an authentication service using the security credential. One or more user actions are received by the first application. The user actions constitute a confirmation of a bootstrap authentication request submitted by a second application. Data encoding the user actions is sent to the authentication service.
