    Abstract: The described embodiments perform a proximity unlock operation. For the proximity unlock operation, a first electronic device in a locked operating state detects that an authorized second electronic device is in proximity to the first electronic device. Based on detecting the authorized second electronic device in proximity to the first electronic device, the first electronic device transitions from a locked operating state to an unlocked operating state. In the described embodiments, the transition to the unlocked operating state occurs without the user performing a manual authentication step that is performed in existing electronic devices to cause the transition from the locked operating state to the unlocked operating state.

    Abstract: The embodiments discussed herein relate to updating and encrypting passwords for one or more computing devices. The computing devices can be associated with a common user account. According to the embodiments discussed herein, the user the can update a password of the user account at one computing device, and log into another computing device using the updated password without having to provide the current password for the other computing device. The embodiments incorporate a variety of encryption and key generation methods in order to safely transmit password updates between local computing devices. Specifically, the embodiments set forth methods and apparatus for generating and storing breadcrumbs that allow for decrypting a current password of a computing device using a new password.
