1. A system for automatically associating user configuration information with additional user devices, comprising:
a plurality of computing devices in communication via one or more networks with a first electronic device of a user and a second electronic device of the user;
wherein the computing devices comprise processing circuitry in communication with a centralized or distributed memory subsystem storing a centralized or distributed user configuration manager and user configuration information, the computing devices being remote from the first electronic device and the second electronic device; and
wherein the user configuration manager comprises executable logic that, when executed by the processing circuitry, causes the computing devices to:
receive login information, compiled association information, and/or physical attributes of the user, from the first electronic device of the user via the one or more networks, the compiled association information comprising associations between the user and peripheral devices, resources, and/or communication interfaces,
retrieve, from the memory subsystem, the user configuration information corresponding to the user,
control provision of a media content streaming service to the first electronic device based on the user configuration information corresponding to the user,
update the user configuration information corresponding to the user based on the provision of the media content streaming service to the first electronic device,
subsequently receive login information, compiled association information, and/or physical attributes of the user, from the second electronic device of the user via the one or more networks,
identify the user based on the login information, compiled association information, and/or physical attributes of the user received from the second electronic device,
retrieve, from the memory subsystem, the updated user configuration information corresponding to the user, responsive to the identification of the user based on the login information, compiled association information, and/or physical attributes of the user received from the second electronic device, and
control provision of the media content streaming service to the second electronic device based on the updated user configuration information corresponding to the user.
