  • Patent number: 9439070
    Abstract: A user authentication system 4 includes an authentication processing module 44, which authenticates a user terminal device 1 based on received account identification information and authentication information; a fraud determination module 48, which detects fraud in a login request from the user terminal device 1 based on the access history of the user terminal device 1; and a response control module 46, which allows the user of said user terminal device 1 to log in to a predetermined account if no fraud is detected in the login request and the user terminal device 1 has been authenticated, and, on the other hand, allows the user of said user terminal device 1 to log in to a dummy account in accordance with predetermined criteria if fraud is detected in the login request from the user terminal device 1.

  • Publication number: 20160036853
    Abstract: To prevent logins to illegitimate sites such as phishing sites, a terminal device according to an embodiment stores authentication information used for login to a destination site in a storage (the authentication information storage area) in association with the site, and determines whether authentication information corresponding to the authentication information input for login to the destination site is stored in the storage in association with a site different from the destination site. The terminal device performs a predetermined alert process in response to the determination that the corresponding authentication information is stored in association with the different site.
