  • Publication number: 20230412586
    Abstract: A method and system for determining a custom personal identification number (PIN) for a user based on an ordered series of events are disclosed, comprising generating the custom PIN for the user based on a set of stored events of the user, each event associated with a point in time and authenticating the user responsive to receiving information that matches the custom PIN. A chronological order of a selected subset of events can be determined. A chronological identifier can be assigned representative of a position of the respective event in the determined chronological order. The custom PIN can be determined as an arrangement of the chronological identifiers. The selected subset of events can be presented to the user in the arranged order. The user can be authenticated responsive to determining that a received indication of a chronological arrangement matches the determined PIN.
