发明名称 Unauthorized account access lockout reduction
摘要 A method and system for determining unauthorized account access is provided. The method includes receiving a username of a user and a passcode for access to a secure account or device belonging to a user. The passcode is determined to be incorrect. Unauthorized access attempts with respect to the secure account or the device are determined based on based on the incorrect passcode and in response, a quality factor associated with the incorrect passcode with respect to the secure account or device is determined. The quality factor is compared to a threshold value. Security functions associated with the secure account or device with respect to the incorrect passcode and the results of the comparison are performed based on the quality factor and the unauthorized access attempts.

主权项 1. An unauthorized passcode access reduction method comprising: remotely receiving over a network, by a computer processor of a computing system from a user via a remote system comprising a first IP address, a username of a user and a passcode for access to a secure account or device belonging to said user, wherein said first IP address differs from a second IP address of said computing system; determining, by said computer processor, that said passcode comprises an incorrect passcode; determining, by said computer processor based on said incorrect passcode and determining that said user is accessing said computing system via said first IP address, unauthorized access attempts associated with said secure account or device; determining, by said computer processor, a quality factor associated with said incorrect passcode with respect to said secure account or device, wherein said quality factor indicates a specified percentage and associated correct position of correct characters within said passcode; comparing, by said computer processor, said quality factor to a predetermined threshold percentage value indicating a threshold percentage and position of correct characters within said passcode; determining, by said computer processor, that a configurable time frame parameter has elapsed between said remotely receiving and previous attempts for access to said secure account or device belonging to said user; and performing, by said computer processor based on results of said comparing, said determining that said configurable time frame parameter has elapsed, and said unauthorized access attempts, security functions associated with prevention of a false access lockout or reset process with respect to said secure account or device with respect to said incorrect passcode.
