Mobile Website Security

I have a mobile website and I want users with authorized devices to visit the website. The authorized device id is stored in the server database.

My question is that is there a way to retrieve the device id when browsing a mobile website. I do not think that it is possible and I might have to adjust to a username, password solution.

You are right: it's not possible. You will need to come up with a user/pass solution.

IF your are able to get a carrier agreement (it might vary from difficult to impossible depending on what country you're in), you can ask the carrier to add an extended HTTP header with the phone number to the navigating device. That way you can identify the device browsing with its phone number.
