Login via near field communication with automatically generated login information

摘要

Methods and devices for NFC tap login with automatically-generated login information are disclosed. A user can launch a browser application and log in a desired website without having to enter the user's username and password. The user can achieve this by tapping a Near Field Communication-enabled computing device with an NFC-enabled wireless device. The wireless device generates and stores the user's usernames and passwords corresponding to a number of websites, and provides the username and password for the desired website to the computing device via an NFC-based communication link. Through a browser application running on the computing device, the user can sign up an account at and log in the desired website.
