Abstract

A method includes: a first electronic device that receives a target operation performed by a user on a first interface of the first electronic device for triggering access to a first service, and the first service is associated with a second electronic device. The first electronic device obtains a target authentication manner corresponding to the target operation, acquires authentication information based on the target authentication manner, and sends an authentication request to the second electronic device. The authentication request includes the authentication information and is for requesting the second electronic device to perform authentication on the first service, and the second electronic device generates an authentication result after performing authentication on the first service.

Claims (54)

1 . A method implemented by a first electronic device, wherein the method comprises:

providing access, by the first electronic device, to a plurality of services in a second electronic device, the plurality of services including at least a first service and a second service, wherein the first service is different than the second service, and wherein the first electronic device is in communication with the second electronic device;

receiving a target operation performed on a first interface of the first electronic device, wherein the target operation includes triggering access to one of the plurality of services in the second device;

acquire authentication information based on the target authentication manner; and

send an authentication request to the second electronic device,

wherein the authentication request comprises the authentication information and is for requesting the second electronic device to perform authentication by the first authentication manner in response to triggering of the first service or by the second authentication manner in response to triggering of the second service.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor of the electronic device, further cause the electronic device to:
