    Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for companion device authentication. A user of a first device may not have access to a service that can be provided by the first device. The service may be a streaming service, a cloud-based service, or the like. Companion device authentication can allow the user, or another user, to authorize access to the service at the first device, using a companion device to the first device. The first device and the companion device may exchange communications to nominate the companion device prior to notifying a user of the companion device of a companion device authentication request for the first device.
