  • System and method for user-specific captchas
    Patent number: 12705327
    Abstract: The embodiments provide a system and method for improved CAPTCHA challenges that utilize user-specific information. In some embodiments, personalized information about assets currently or previously owned assets, including properties and/or vehicles, are collected. The system then builds a dataset (a “user-specific CAPTCHA dataset”) that is comprised of images including the user-owned assets. The user-specific CAPTCHA dataset can then be used to create personalized, or user-specific, CAPTCHA challenges that include images from the data set. For systems that implement CAPTCHA challenges for multiple different users, each user-specific dataset may be associated to a particular user identifier (such as a username or email address).
