Zusammenfassung:	An approach is provided for authenticating services at a device. An authentication request from a services platform is received at a device. Local credentials to authenticate access to a storage are retrieved. The access to the storage is authenticated based, at least in part, on the local credentials. If authenticated, it is determined that account information for the services platform is in the storage. The account information includes authentication credentials associated with the services platform, a security policy associated with the services platform, or a combination thereof. A response to the authentication request is generated based, at least in part, on the account information.
