  • Patent number: 11089009
    Abstract: Systems and methods for credential character selection are provided. The system includes one or more sensors configured to detect a character selection and generate a character selection signal, and detect a character selection completion and generate a character selection completion signal. The system also includes one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors, the one or more processors configured to receive the character selection signal and the character selection completion signal, and generate an output signal based on the received character selection signal that includes components of a credential. The system also includes a network interface component configured to transmit the output signal. The credential characters may be components of a PIN or password. Moreover, the credential character selections may be made on one device, but displayed on a separate coupled device. The character selections may be a selection of a character or a modification of character.

  • Patent number: 10666656
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user attempting to access content are provided. The method includes requesting a first at least one user credential, determining if the requested first at least one user credential matches a second at least one user credential used when the user accessed previously accessed content, and generating a list of content providers requiring the second at least one user credential for access when the first at least one user credentials matches a second at least one user credential. The method also includes requiring the user to select a content provider from the list of content providers, allowing the user to access the content if the selected content provider corresponds to the content being accessed by the user, and preventing the user from accessing the content if the selected content provider does not correspond to the content being accessed by the user.

  • Publication number: 20150006405
    Abstract: Systems and methods for entering credential components are provided. The system includes an input device coupled to a computing device. The input device includes an input pad configured to receive a tactile input corresponding to the credential components, and one or more processors. The one or more processors of the input device are configured to recognize one or more characters traced on the input pad by the tactile input, encrypt the recognized one or more characters, and send the encrypted one or more characters. The computing device receives the encrypted one or more characters and includes one or more processors configured to display instructions to provide the tactile input, and send the received encrypted one or more characters to a remote server.
