1. A computer implemented method comprising:
establishing, by a wireless router, a wireless network connection with a user device and a second user device;
intercepting, at an intermediary device, an authentication request being sent from a secure web service to the user device associated with a user and a second authentication request being sent from the secure web service to the second user device associated with a second user, wherein the intercepting of the authentication request comprises dropping, by the wireless router, the authentication request before the authentication request arrives at the user device;
transmitting from the intermediary device, responsive to the second authentication request, a credential request to a credential storage, wherein the credential request includes a request for a credential associated with the second user and the secure web service;
receiving, at the intermediary device, responsive to the credential request, the credential associated with the second user and the secure web service;
transmitting from the intermediary device, as a response to the authentication request, the credential associated with the second user to the secure web service;
intercepting, responsive to successful validation of the credential by the secure web service, an authentication response from the secure web service, wherein the authentication response includes session data required for maintaining an authenticated session with the secure web service; and
forwarding the authentication response with the session data to the second user device.
