Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “As part of determining whether to grant a user device acce ss to content (e.g., a website containing personal information, such as banking information), a user of the user device might be prompted with one or more authe ntication questions. Such questions might relate to, for example, a password of the user, a personal identification number (PIN) of the user, or the like. Those questions might additionally and/or alternatively be generated based on persona l information of the user. For example, when setting up an account, a user might provide a variety of answers to predetermined questions (e.g., “Where was your father born?,” “Who is your best friend in high school?”), and those questions m ight be presented to the user as part of an authentication process. As another e xample, a commercially-available database of personal information might be queri ed to determine personal information for a user (e.g., their birthdate, birth st ate, etc.), and that information might be used to generate an authentication que stion (e.g., “Where were you born, and in what year?”).
