Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: registering, by one or more servers, a first device with a given user including creating a first temporal identifier based at least in part on (i) a first instance of login credentials of the given user that were provided through the first device and (ii) a temporary key that is associated with the login credentials; providing, by the one or more servers, the first temporal identifier to the first device for storage at the first device; subsequently registering, by the one or more servers, a second different device with the given user including generating a second temporal identifier that matches the first temporal identifier based on (i) a second instance of the login credentials provided through the second different device and (ii) the temporary key that is associated with the login credentials; providing the second temporal identifier for storage on the second different device; determining, by the one or more servers, that the first temporal identifier matches the second temporal identifier; linking, in a data structure, and by the one or more servers, the first device and the second device as associated with a same user based on the determination that the first temporal identifier matches the second temporal identifier; associating interactions between the one or more servers and each of the first device and the second device with the given user based on the linking; determining, after the linking and in response to receipt of a third instance of the login credentials from a third device, that the temporary key used to generate the first temporal identifier and the second temporal identifier has expired; and generating, by the one or more servers, and in response to determining that the temporary key has expired, a different temporal identifier that does not match the first temporal identifier or the second temporal identifier based on a different temporary key and the login credentials.
