US Patent 10230564 Automatic account management and device registration

A single sign-on system accepts master credentials from a user device and/or application, and automatically signs on to supported services using account credentials corresponding to those services. If the user has not created an account used by a particular device or application, the system can automatically interact with the account service to create the account. Similarly, if the device or application that relies on the account has not already been registered with the account, the system automatically interacts with the account to register the device or account.
