SYSTEM, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR AUTHENTICATION

摘要

A computing device and computing device implemented method for setting a security level of the computing device. The method may comprise the computing device presenting a challenge to a user of the computing device. The challenge requiring the user to register a password with the computing device. The computing device may receive the password through a user input interface of the computing device in response to the challenge. The computing device may process the received password to calculate a password strength value and evaluate the password strength value to assign the security level. In an aspect, the security level may assign a higher security level when the password strength value is relatively high. In an aspect, the security level may allow for an expanded range of user selectable security options when the password strength value is relatively high.
