Abstract
Manual channel selection can be required when a user signs into a primary account with multiple corresponding profiles on a content sharing platform, provided that no default profile is configured. This results in redundant user prompts and inefficient use of network resources through additional round-trip requests. This disclosure relates to dynamically selecting an active channel based on historical activity on a specific client device. The identity of the last active channel used on the client device can be stored using authentication data (e.g., an encrypted state cookie). When a subsequent sign-in is initiated, the state cookie can be retrieved and processed by an authentication server to automatically activate the previously used channel. This approach maintains session context across different login events on the same client device without manual intervention. Efficiency is improved by reducing the number of interface interactions and minimizing server-side requests. Security is maintained through encryption, ensuring that profile selection remains consistent with prior user behavior on the specific hardware.
