A request for a credential for an application program may be generated, and in response an application credential for the application program may be obtained, the application credential being related to the unique identifier of the user. A request for access to the application program may be generated, the request comprising the application credential and the device related credential. In response to the request for access, access to the application may be granted if the device related credential and the application credential relate to the same unique user identifier.
