Abstract: Embodiments described herein include an expressive icon system to present an animated graphical icon, wherein the animated graphical icon is generated by capture facial tracking data at a client device. In some embodiments, the system may track and capture facial tracking data of a user via a camera associated with a client device (e.g., a front facing camera, or a paired camera), and process the facial tracking data to animate a graphical icon.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for persistent login. Such persistent login may be based on linking user identity across accounts of different entities to allow each entity to maintain control over their respective sets of user data, while providing a streamlined user experience that avoids much of the repetitive need to login to different services with different login credentials (e.g., during periods of heavy use). Such persistent login may utilize a set of tokens issued and exchanged between devices of the partnering entities. Such tokens may include an access token, refresh token, and identity token. When a user associated with a first entity requests access to information secured by a second entity, such request may be associated with the access token. If the access token is determined to be expired, the refresh token may be used to refresh the access token, which may also trigger issuance of a new refresh token.
