Abstract
An identity verification method and a verifying device, where the verifying device receives an account for requesting password reset. When the account is invalid, the verifying device sends a fake identification and a first verification request to a requesting device. The verification request mentioned requests a user to determine whether to send verification information to a first communication address. The fake identification and the first communication address are associated with the first account.
Claims20
A method for identity verification, implemented by a verifying device, the method comprising:
- receiving first account information from a requesting device requesting to reset a first password corresponding to a first account;
- determining that the first account is invalid;
- creating a fake identification corresponding to the first account in response to determining that the first account is invalid;
- sending the fake identification to the requesting device to display the fake identification;
- sending a first verification request to the requesting device, wherein the first verification request requests a user to determine whether to send verification information to a first communication address, and wherein the fake identification and the first communication address are associated with the first account;
- receiving second account information from the requesting device requesting to reset a second password corresponding to a second account;
- determining that the second account is valid;
- retrieving a true identification corresponding to the second account in response to determining that the second account is valid;
- sending the true identification to the requesting device to display the true identification to the user;
- and
- sending a second verification request to the requesting device, wherein the second verification request requests the user to determine whether to send verification information to a second communication address, and wherein the true identification and the second communication address are associated with the second account.

A verifier apparatus comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer executable instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the computer executable instructions cause the processor to be configured to:
- receive first account information from a requesting device requesting to reset a first password corresponding to a first account;
- determine that the first account is invalid;
- create a fake identification corresponding to the first account in response to determining that the first account is invalid;
- send the fake identification to the requesting device to display the fake identification;
- send a first verification request to the requesting device, wherein the first verification request is configured to request the user to determine whether to send verification information to a first communication address, and wherein the fake identification and the first communication address are associated with the first account;
- receive second account information from the requesting device requesting to reset a second password corresponding to a second account;
- determine that the second account is valid;
- retrieve a stored true identification corresponding to the second account in response to determining that the second account is valid;
- send the true identification to the requesting device to display the true identification to the user;
- and
- send a second verification request to the requesting device, wherein the second verification request requests the user to determine whether to send verification information to a second communication address, and wherein the true identification and the second communication address are associated with the second account.
11 more elements
A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions for storage on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:
- receive first account information from a requesting device requesting to reset a first password corresponding to a first account;
- determine that the first account is invalid;
- create a fake identification corresponding to the first account in response to the determining that the first account is invalid;
- send the fake identification to the requesting device to display the fake identification;
- send a first verification request to the requesting device, wherein the first verification request requests a user to determine whether to send verification information to a first communication address, and wherein the fake identification and the first communication address are associated with the first account;
- receive second account information from the requesting device requesting to reset a second password corresponding to a second account;
- determine that the second account is valid;
- retrieve a stored true identification corresponding to the second account in response to the determining that the second account is valid;
- send the true identification to the requesting device to display the true identification to the user;
- and
- send a second verification request to the requesting device, wherein the second verification request requests the user to determine whether to send verification information to a second communication address, and wherein the true identification and the second communication address are associated with the second account.
