  • Patent number: 11862175
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for user identification and authorization are provided. In an example, a voice command to perform an action is detected. A voice profile associated with a user is identified based upon voice characteristics of the voice command. In response to determining that the voice profile is not linked to an account associated with the action, the user is prompted for an identifier associated with a device for creating the account through the device. In response to receiving the identifier from the user, the identifier is utilized to facilitate creation of the account through the device.

  • Patent number: 11812266
    Abstract: In some implementations, an authentication system may receive a user authentication request identifying a primary device. The authentication system may generate a challenge associated with a user profile mapped to the primary device. The authentication system may transmit a challenge message including the challenge. The authentication system may receive a challenge response including a response to the challenge, wherein the response to the challenge includes identification information regarding the user profile. The authentication system may determine a set of primary services associated with the user profile mapped to the primary device and a set of secondary services associated with a set of secondary devices. The authentication system may generate a set of security keys mapped to the set of primary services and the set of secondary services. The authentication system may provision the primary device and the set of secondary devices with the set of security keys.
