The method includes receiving an indication that an input is unstable, impacting the ability of a user to provide the input; generating a dynamic keyboard including at least one alphanumeric key, the dynamic keyboard being configured to address the unstable input; presenting the dynamic keyboard to the user; receiving the input from the user, the input comprising a selection of at least one alphanumeric character of a passcode on the dynamic keyboard; and authenticating the input received from the user by comparing the at least one alphanumeric character and a stored passcode. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of authenticating a passcode entered by a user on an unstable electronic computing device, the method comprising: receiving an indication that an input is unstable, impacting an ability of the user to provide the input; generating a dynamic keyboard including at least one alphanumeric key, the dynamic keyboard being configured to address the unstable input; presenting the dynamic keyboard to the user, wherein the at least one alphanumeric key includes an alphanumeric key of a known correct character of the passcode and a plurality of randomly selected alphanumeric keys; receiving the input from the user, the input comprising a selection of the alphanumeric key of the known correct character of the passcode on the dynamic keyboard; and authenticating the input received from the user by comparing the alphanumeric key of the known correct character of the passcode and a stored passcode. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamic keyboard comprises a plurality of selectable alphanumeric keys and at least one disabled alphanumeric key. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamic keyboard comprises a plurality of selectable alphanumeric keys and at least at least one alphanumeric key that appears larger than other alphanumeric keys. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamic keyboard comprises one displayed alphanumeric key and a directional input selector allowing the user to select a direction relative to the one displayed alphanumeric key of a desired input. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the dynamic keyboard comprises displaying up to four alphanumeric characters. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the dynamic keyboard is presented on a user interface of the electronic computing device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the indication that the electronic computing device is unstable is received from at least one of a gyroscope, a camera, and a global positioning sensor (GPS) associated with the electronic computing device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic computing device has virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) capabilities, and the input is a gesture received from the user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the input is an auditory input. ### Claim 10 An electronic computing device comprising: at least one processor; and a system memory, the system memory including instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic computing device to: receive an indication that an input is unstable, impacting an ability of a user to provide the input; generate a dynamic keyboard including at least one alphanumeric key, the dynamic keyboard being configured to address the unstable input; present the dynamic keyboard to the user, wherein the at least one alphanumeric key includes an alphanumeric key of a known correct character of the passcode and a plurality of randomly selected alphanumeric keys; receive the input from the user, the input comprising a selection of the alphanumeric key of the known correct character of the passcode on the dynamic keyboard; and authenticate the input received from the user by comparing the alphanumeric key of the known correct character of the passcode and a stored passcode. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the dynamic keyboard comprises a plurality of selectable alphanumeric keys and at least one disabled alphanumeric key. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the dynamic keyboard comprises a plurality of selectable alphanumeric keys and at least at least one alphanumeric key that appears larger than other alphanumeric keys. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the dynamic keyboard comprises one displayed alphanumeric key and a directional input selector allowing the user to select a direction relative to the displayed alphanumeric key of a desired input. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein displaying the dynamic keyboard comprises displaying up to four alphanumeric characters. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein receiving the indication that the electronic computing device is unstable is received from at least one of a gyroscope, a camera, and a global positioning sensor (GPS) associated with the electronic computing device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the electronic computing device has virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) capabilities, and the input is a gesture received from the user.
