  • Method for handling password errors
    Patent number: 7512803
    Abstract: Handling incorrectly entered passwords is accomplished by systems, devices, software and software products, and methods, that treat incorrectly entered passwords as case insensitive rather than rejecting them outright. As such, passwords that would normally be rejected, as a result of being entered incorrectly, typically inadvertently, such as if the “Caps Lock” key on the entering user's keyboard was active or “in” when the password was being typed (entered), are accepted as valid.
