Patent ID: 7543155

Claim:
A method for developing a password based on a biometric template via a graphical user interface, the method comprising: receiving a request that a password be generated that is input by a user via the graphical user interface and responsively issuing a passphrase input request to the user; receiving the passphrase input, having a first character sequence, by the user and simultaneously obtaining data associated with keystroke dynamics of the user while the user inputs the passphrase; creating a biometric template based upon the data obtained and keystroke dynamics data of the user collected over a predetermined period of time; analyzing the biometric template to identify continuous character combinations the user types easily; in accordance with the analyzing of the biometric template, modifying the first character sequence of the inputted passphrase with the continuous character combinations the user types easily to thereby generate the password, the password having a second character sequence, which is different from the first character sequence; and displaying the generated password to the user via the graphical user interface.
