Method and system for managing user login behavior on an electronic device for enhanced security

摘要

Security is enhanced for a user of an electronic device by providing a method for managing user login behavior. When an entered password that is different from a defined password is received, the method includes identifying alternative characters for at least one character of the entered password based on a location of a key corresponding to the character of the entered password on a keyboard used to enter the password. When the alternative characters are identified, a variation of the entered password is generated by replacing a character of the entered password with an alternative character of the character. When information relating to the variation matches information relating to the defined password, the entered password is determined to be valid.
