Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a process for administering authentication procedures for an artificial reality device, the process comprising:
receiving, from an artificial reality device, user contact information and an identifier of the artificial reality device;
verifying that the user contact information is associated with a user account or creating the user account based on the user contact information;
sending a user-account specific key, to a personal device associated with the user account, that includes an identifier mapped to the user account, wherein the personal device causes the user-account specific key to be activated, in association with the identifier of the artificial reality device, based on the identifier mapped to the user account, wherein:
the personal device causes the user-account specific key to be activated in part by sending a network message to a default network location previously loaded into the personal user device as part of an application associated with the artificial reality device, or
the personal device causes the user-account specific key to be activated in part by sending a network message to a default network location previously loaded into the personal user device as part of an application associated with the artificial reality device;

in response to the activation, creating an authorization record between the user account and the artificial reality device; and
