There is described a method and system for automatically logging in a user
to an Internet-enabled computing device. The computing device runs a
validation application and has access to information specific to the
user, namely user-specific information. The method comprises initiating a
call from a first telephone means to a second telephone means. The call
has associated thereto calling line identification (CLID) information.
The second telephone means provides access to the Internet-enabled
computing device. The validation application, on the Internet-enabled
computing device, compares the CLID information to the user-specific
information. The method further comprises validating the CLID information
using the comparison, and upon positive validation, logging in the user
to the Internet-enabled computing device.
