Abstract

Examples of systems and methods are provided for facilitating establishing a remote session between a host device and a remote server. The system may facilitate establishing a first remote session between a client device and the remote server. The system may facilitate establishing a trusted relationship between the client device and the host device. The system may provide remote session login information from the client device to the host device to enable the host device to establish a second remote session with the remote server. The system may facilitate termination of the first remote session at the client device after the login information is provided to the host device.
