Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the one or more processors to:
authenticate a user of the computing device as an authorized user;
in response to authenticating the user of the computing device as the authorized user, transition from a locked state to an unlocked state;
in response to authenticating the user of the computing device as the authorized user, determine one or more computing devices that are proximate to the computing device;
determining, by the computing device, a corresponding access level to functionalities of a corresponding computing device to be provided by each of the one or more computing devices in the unlocked state to a corresponding user based at least in part on a corresponding distance between the computing device and each of the one or more computing devices, wherein the corresponding access level to functionalities of the corresponding computing device indicates one or more applications that are accessible in the unlocked state at the corresponding access level out of a plurality of applications installed at the corresponding computing device; and
in response to determining the one or more computing devices that are proximate to the computing device, send to each of the one or more computing devices, an indication of the corresponding access level to be provided by each of the one or more computing devices in the unlocked state and an indication of successful user authentication by the computing device to enable each of the one or more computing devices to transition from the locked state to the unlocked state without performing user authentication.
