Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods of password recovery and password reset, as well as resetting or recovering other types of user-authentication factor. A system monitors and tracks user-interactions that are performed by a user of an electronic device or a computerized service. The system defines a user-specific task or challenge, in which the user is requested to enter a phrase or perform a task. A user-specific feature is extracted from the manner in which the user performs the task. Subsequently, that user-specific feature is utilized instead of a security question, in order to verify the identity of the user and to allow the user to perform password reset or to perform a reset of another user-authentication factor; by presenting to the user the same task or a similar task, and monitoring the manner in which the user performs the fresh task.
