`
`wherein the resource external to the first device is associated with a user;
`
`accessat least one record stored on thefirst device, the at least one record
`
`including authentication information associated with the user and credential information
`
`associated with the external resource to which the user has requested access, wherein the
`
`credential information comprises a cryptographic key;
`
`receive authentication input from the user;
`
`determine that the authentication input from the user matches the authentication
`
`information associated with the user includedin the at least one record stored on the first
`
`device;

`facilitate access of the user to the external resource at least in part by transmitting,
`
`on behalf of the user, from the first device, output based at least in part on the at least
`
`portion ofthe credential information retrieved from the at least one record, wherein the
`
`user of the first device is granted access to the external resource basedat least in part on
`
`the output transmitted from the first device on behalf of the user; and
`
`based at least in part on the first device being a same brand as a second device,
`
`initiate a backup, to the second device, of at least a portion of the at least one record; and

`
`behalf of the user, from the first device, output based at least in part on the at least portion of the
`
`credential information retrieved from the at least one record, wherein the user ofthe first device
`
`is granted access to the external resource basedat least in part on the output transmitted from the
`

`

`IN THE CLAIMS
`
`Please amend the claims as follows:
`
`1,
`
`(Previously presented)
`
`A system, comprising:
`
`one or more processors configuredto:
`
`receive, at a first device, a request to access a resource external to the first device,
`
`wherein the resource external to the first device is associated with a user;
`
`accessat least one record stored on thefirst device, the at least one record
`
`including authentication information associated with the user and credential information
`
`associated with the external resource to which the user has requested access, wherein the
`
`credential information comprises a cryptographic key;
`
`receive authentication input from the user;
`
`determine that the authentication input from the user matches the authentication
`
`information associated with the user includedin the at least one record stored on the first
`
`device;
`
`retrieve at least a portion of the credential information from the at least one record
`
`stored on thefirst device;
`
`facilitate access of the user to the external resource at least in part by transmitting,
`
`on behalf of the user, from the first device, output based at least in part on the at least
`
`portion ofthe credential information retrieved from the at least one record, wherein the
`
`user of the first device is granted access to the external resource basedat least in part on
`
`the output transmitted from the first device on behalf of the user; and
`
`based at least in part on the first device being a same brand as a second device,
`
`initiate a backup, to the second device, of at least a portion of the at least one record; and
`
`a memory coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or
`
`more processors with instructions.
`
`2.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the second device is used to authenticate
`
`the user to one or more external resources.

`
`

`

`3.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the backup is completed afterthe first
`
`device has performed a verification that the second device conformsto a policy associated with
`
`the at least one record stored on thefirst device.
`
`4.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the backup is completed after a secure
`
`channelis established by at least one of the first device and the second device.
`
`5.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim |, wherein the first device and the second device are
`
`configured to complete a pairing process.
`
`6.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 5, wherein the pairing process comprises a
`
`comparison of data generated from one or more authentication inputs.
`
`7.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein subsequent to completion of the backup,
`
`the second device comprisesa first profile associated with the userofthe first device, and a
`
`second profile associated with a second user different from the userof the first device.
`
`8.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further
`
`configuredto:
`
`determine that the authentication input from the user does not match authentication
`
`information ofa first profile; and
`
`subsequent to determining that the authentication input from the user does not match the
`
`authentication information of the first profile, determine that the authentication input from the
`
`user matches authentication information of a second profile, wherein the first profile is
`
`associated with a different user than the secondprofile.
`
`9.
`
`(Currently amended) The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one record stored on
`
`the first device is stored in a secure storage, and wherein the one or more processors are
`
`configured to access the at least one record stored on the secure storage using a restricted
`
`interface.
`
`10.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 9, wherein the restricted interface comprises a
`
`dedicated physical connection.
`
`11.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 9, wherein the restricted interface comprises an
`
`application programminginterface.

`12.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the backup causesa certificate to be
`
`transmitted to the second device.
`
`13.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 12, wherein the certificate is generated at least in part
`
`by the first device.
`
`14.
`
`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the authentication input from the user is
`
`received using a biometric user input element.

`(Original)
`
`The system of claim 1, wherein the backup comprises copying a modified
