Zusammenfassung: | The disclosed embodiments provide a system that manages access to a user account on electronic devices of a user. An identity service provides a device token for the electronic device and a set of handles associated with the user account to the electronic device (302). The identity service receives, from the electronic device, a handle registration containing selected handles from the set (304). The identity service transmits an identity certificate comprising an association between the selected handles and the electronic device to the electronic device (306). The identity certificate and the association are used to route data associated with the selected handles to and from the electronic device (308). Examples of handles are the user's e-mail addresses or telephone numbers whereby the electronic device is configured to receive communications for the user sent to selected ones of the user's communication addresses comprised in the user account. |
