Abstract: As provided herein, a first device may be registered as authorized to authenticate a user login into a service from a second device (e.g., a smart phone may be used to log the user into a webmail service on a computer without the user having to enter a password through the computer). Responsive to the user attempting to access the service through the second device, a login interface may be displayed on the first device. The user may confirm or deny that the user wants to log into the service on the second device, thus allowing the user to seamlessly log into the service on the second device (e.g., without entering a password) while mitigating unauthorized logins into the service from unknown devices. Further, the user may use the first device to delegate the authority to authenticate the user login into the service to one or more other devices.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for facilitating user subscription to content from a content provider are provided. For example, a message interface provides access to messages associated with a user message address of a user. A content recommendation to subscribe to content of a content provider is generated and populated within the message interface (e.g., a recommendation to subscribe to a gardening newsletter). Responsive to the user interacting with the content recommendation, a subscribe option is displayed through the message interface. The user can use the subscribe option to quickly and efficiently create a user subscription to the content without transitioning away from the message interface. Information used to create the user subscription can be prefilled in order to reduce the amount of user actions needed for creating the user subscription.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods incorporate user annotations (metadata) regarding various pages or sites, including annotations by a querying user and by members of a trust network defined for the querying user into search and browsing of a corpus such as the World Wide Web. A trust network is defined for each user, and annotations by any member of a first user's trust network are made visible to the first user during search and/or browsing of the corpus. Users can also limit searches to content annotated by members of their trust networks or by members of a community selected by the user.
