Systems and methods for determining knowledge-based authentication questions

A device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• parse a social media account associated with a social media handle for the user using a template-based algorithm;
• compare the results of the parsing with a plurality of knowledge-based authentication questions;
• determine, based on the comparison, that one or more of the plurality of knowledge-based authentication questions is compromised based on an answer being publicly available through the social media account;
• eliminate each compromised knowledge-based authentication question;
• and
• present the remaining uncompromised knowledge-based authentication questions to the user for authentication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure the processor to perform procedures comprising:

• parsing a social media account associated with a social media handle for the user using a template-based algorithm;
• comparing the results of the parsing with a plurality of knowledge-based authentication questions;
• determining, based on the comparison, that one or more of the plurality of knowledge-based authentication questions is compromised based on an answer being publicly available through the social media account;
• eliminating each compromised knowledge-based authentication question;
• and
• presenting the remaining uncompromised knowledge-based authentication questions to the user for authentication.
