Abstract:
In an embodiment, a password risk evaluator may receive a request including a user identifier (ID) and a password. The password risk evaluator may retrieve a password preference model associated with the user ID, and may determine a risk score indicating a likelihood that the password is associated with the user ID. For example, the password preference model may be based on previous passwords used by the user, and may identify one or more characteristics, formulas, rules, or other indicia typically employed by the user in creating passwords. If the password supplied in the request matches or is similar to one or more elements of the password preference model, it may be more likely that the password in the request is a password supplied by the user. That is, the risk score may be an authentication of the user, or part of the authentication of the user, in some embodiments.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n receiving, at a computer system, a user identifier and a first password, wherein the user identifier specifies a user; retrieving, by the computer system, a password preference model for the user identifier from a database, wherein the password preference model is provided from an entry in the database that corresponds to the user identifier, and wherein the password preference model was previously developed by the computer system based on one or more previous passwords successfully established as passwords to authenticate the user, wherein the password preference model describes one or more user tendencies indicated in a content of the previous passwords, wherein the user tendencies comprise tendencies employed in creating the content of the previous passwords; determining, by the computer system, a similarity between a content of the first password and the password preference model; and returning, by the computer system, a value indicating a likelihood that the first password is associated with a user rather than a third party impersonating the user, wherein the value is based on the similarity.
