<p>A method for managing passwords for a user. A processor (111) of an apparatus (110) storing at least one received, incorrect password proposal receives (S10) via a user interface (113) a further password proposal from a user; generates (S11) a hash value for the further password proposal; sends the hash value to the authentication server (120); receives from the authentication server (120) a message indicative of whether the hash value corresponds to a correct password or to an incorrect password. In case the message indicates that the hash value corresponds to a correct password, the processor uses (S13) a distance function on each incorrect password proposal to obtain a distance value representative of a distance between the incorrect password proposal and the correct password; and sending to the authentication server (120) hash values for password proposals for which the distance value is lower than or equal to a threshold value. Also provided are the apparatus (110) and a computer program support (140). The disclosure can provide resistance to typing errors in the password proposals.</p> |
