    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for obtaining access to a cloud service. In particular, a user may log into a client device using an operating system (OS) cloud login ID. The user may access cloud services (e.g., a music streaming service, a data storage service, etc.) through applications executing on the client device using merely the OS cloud login ID without providing additional login credentials specific to the cloud services. A client side application may request a token to access a cloud service. The token may be generated by an identity provider based upon the identity provider verifying an application ID identifying the application, a cloud service ID identifying the cloud service and/or OS cloud credentials. In this way, the application may present the token to a cloud service provider for verification to gain access to the cloud service hosted by the cloud service provider.
