Abstract:
A virtual session manager of an electronic device maintains a web session for a user across multiple electronic devices. The virtual session manager will receive an authentication request from a first electronic device that is in a communication range of the virtual session manager's device. The virtual session manager will transmit the authentication request to an endpoint device, and it will either present a grant token to or receive a grant token from the endpoint. The virtual session manager will receive a first access token from the endpoint device. The virtual session manager will transmit the first access token to the first electronic device so that the first electronic device can establish a virtual session with the first web resource without having any access to the grant token.
