Abstract: A system and method for pairing a mobile device with a computer for password-less login using a network service is provided. The method may include sending a pairing request to a network server from a computing device, wherein the pairing request includes computer authentication data and a computer public key. The network server may pair the mobile device with the computing device; wherein, the computing device may generate a pairing secret key and an associated QR image, which the user is prompted to scan using the mobile device. A pairing agent within the mobile device may validate the computer authentication data and parse the computer public key therefrom. In some embodiments a PIN could be displayed by the computer and entered by the user into the mobile device or silently exchanged between the computer and the mobile device, when proximate to each other, for the mutual authentication data validation.
