Patent number: 11074337Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of increasing security of a password-protected resource based on publicly available data. For instance, password generation models may be extracted from passwords (e.g., encrypted versions of the passwords) that are generated by users. A user password (e.g., encrypted version of the user password) may be received to be utilized to access a designated password-protected resource from a user of a computing device. Publicly available data regarding the user may be obtained. The password generation models may be applied using the publicly available data to generate sample passwords. The sample passwords may be compared to the user password to determine that the user password and each of one or more of the sample passwords include at least one common element. An alternative password may be recommended for use by the user in lieu of the user password.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Andrey Karpovsky, Yotam Livny
