  • Publication number: 20160162672
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product for authenticating a user based on a sequence of rhythmic inputs. The user via a mobile device provides one or more inputs (e.g., pushing a button, tapping a touchscreen, a biometric, or the like) to one or more sensors associated with the mobile device as an attempt of authorization. The one or more inputs may be provided in a rhythmic manner (e.g., provided in time with music). The present invention then compares the provided one or more inputs to one or more predetermined sequences of inputs that are associated with positive authentication of the user (e.g., a known password). The phone determines that the one or more provided inputs match one or more predetermined rhythmic sequences associated with positive authentication of the user and authenticates the user.
