  • Patent number: 11539698
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for delegating authentication of an untrusted application executing on a client device. For delegated authentication, an untrusted application relies on a trusted application executing in the same environment for authentication purposes. The delegated authentication process avoids requiring the user of the untrusted application to provide authentication credentials. The disclosed system for delegating authentication enables any trusted application executing in the same computing environment to authenticate the untrusted application.

  • Publication number: 20220116407
    Abstract: A messaging system includes features of gathering information regarding content accessed across multiple applications and/or devices and making that information available to account holders of the messaging system. The messaging system stores data related to accessed content in a plurality of indices and makes that data available to enable account holders to access previously-accessed content, even if the previous access occurred in a different software application, on a different device, or on a device with a different operating system. Account holders may also be provided with recommendations based on gathered information.

  • Patent number: 11303623
    Abstract: A system and method including: receiving an authorization request originating from an authorization module of an application executing on a client device, where the authorization request includes an identifier identifying the client device; causing transmission, based on the identifier, of a verification message to the client device, where the verification message includes a verification code; receiving a confirmation of the verification code from the authorization module of the application executing on the client device; authenticating the application based on the receiving the confirmation of the verification code; determining that the client device identified by the identifier corresponds to a user account including secure user data associated with a user; and transmitting a unique token verifying that the application is authorized to sign into the user account, where: the unique token uniquely identifies the user account to the application, and the secure user data is not shared with the application.

  • Patent number: 10459828
    Abstract: A method for application testing recommendation includes deploying a software application to first testers having first system configurations, and receiving testing coverage data describing (i) a first subset of features of the software application being tested by the first testers and (ii) information describing the first system configurations. The method further includes deploying the software application to a marketplace, and receiving market coverage data describing (i) a second subset of features being used by market users and (ii) second system configurations of the market users. The method further includes comparing the market coverage data and the testing coverage data to identify a coverage discrepancy, selecting second testers to test the software application based on the coverage discrepancy, and deploying the software application to the second testers.
