  • Patent number: 11003404
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a storage unit and a control unit. The storage unit stores in advance first identification information out of the first identification information and second identification information which are associated with the same user. The control unit acquires data of a job associated with the second identification information. The control unit suspends the execution of the job when the second identification information is not associated with the first identification information. The control unit authenticates the user using the first identification information. The control unit associates the second identification information with the first identification information when an operation determined in advance is received.
