Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, receive cues, one-time passwords, and a presentation order. The cues and one-time passwords are associated with a user name. In response to a cue request, the cues are presented in the presentation order and input data is received. If the input data matches the associated one-time password, then access to secure information is granted and the one-time password is invalidated. If the input data does not match the associated one-time password, then access to secure information is denied. In various embodiments, the cues may be text, images, audio, or video. In this way, in an embodiment, one-time passwords may be used in response to cues, which may increase security when accessing information from a non-trusted client because if the one-time password is misappropriated via the non-trusted client, the one-time password is no longer valid for future use.

Abstract: One example creates an application specific credential vault manager for templated applications. This credential vault manager would be associated with the portlets requiring the use of the credential vault and allow the user to configure the credential vault access at a composite application scope instead of at the portlet scope or the portlet application scope.
