Abstract: A method for managing access to application software contained on a computer system or network. The computer system utilizes an authentication component that is configured to receive a unique user account identifier and to generate an authentication passkey by using an identifying data element, typically called a “password”. The identifying data elements are collected from one or more input devices and used as an encryption key for the user account identifier. The generated authentication passkey is used in an authentication transaction associated with the application software instead of the identifying data element thereby reducing data security risks if the identifying data element alone were discovered due to other unknowns including the encryption elements.

Abstract: A support for a cover of a hot tub spa has a pair of roller support arms each having a pivotal connection for securing it to the spa. The pivotal connections each comprise an attachment member for mounting on a vertical outer wall of the spa, with a hinge connecting the support arm to its attachment member for pivotation between operative and inoperative positions. In the operative positions, the arms extend horizontally outwardly from the top of the spa. The pivotal connection are separate from one another to allow the spacing between then to be varied as desired, and the rollers support arms each have rollers projecting upwardly from the roller support arms and rotatable about axes extending transversely of the roller support arms to facilitate displacement of the cover onto and from the roller support arms.
