System and methods for weak authentication data reinforcement

摘要

Systems and methods for weak authentication data reinforcement are described. In some embodiments, authentication data is received in a request to authenticate a user. In response to detecting weak authentication data, the systems and methods determine whether the user was previously authenticated as a human user. An example embodiment may include initiating an authentication process based on determining that the user was previously authenticated as a human user.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving a request to authenticate a user operating a device, the request including authentication data and an identifier associated with the device, the request being received over a network; determining that the authentication data is weak authentication data by referencing the authentication data from a list of predetermined weak authentication data stored in a database; determining that the user is indicated in a database of safe users; responsive to determining that the authentication data is weak authentication data, determining, by a processor of a machine, that the device is identified as a safe device including determining that the identifier associated with the device is included in a device table that indicates authenticated devices; and initiating an authentication process based on both the determining that the user is indicated in the database of safe users and the determining that the device is included in the device table.
