1. A computer-implemented method (CIM) comprising:
receiving a first password for a first user, with the first password including numbers, alphanumeric characters and/or non-alphanumeric characters;
receiving a set of operation(s) that can be applied to the first password to change it into a second password for the first user;
applying, by machine logic, the set of operation(s) to the first password to obtain the second password;
presenting a user interface to the first user that prompts the user to enter the first and second passwords as a multi-factor authentication of the first user to access a first protected resource;
receiving user input from the first user through the user interface;
determining whether the user input is the first password or the second password;
responsive to the determination that the user input is of the first password, receiving another input with the second password;
responsive to the determination that the user input is of the second password, receiving another input with the first password;
determining that the user input and the another user input are indicative of a correct entry of the first password and a correct entry of the second password; and
responsive to the determination that the user input and the another user input are indicative of a correct entry of the first password and a correct entry of the second password, allowing the first user access to the first protected resource.
