Estimating the term…
A system and method for dynamically adjusting or modifying the password expiration period for a given user based upon how a user accesses the password-protected resource. The tighter the physical control of how a user can access a resource results in a loosening or maintaining of the password expiration period to be a relatively long period of time, whereas the looser the physical control of how a user can access a resource results in a tightening of the password expiration period to be a relatively short period of time. The password expiration period is adjusted based on both actual usage patterns as well as variances in such usage patterns.
A method for adjusting an expiration time for a password of a user using a device coupled to a network to access a password-protected network resource, comprising steps of:
A system for adjusting an expiration time for a password of a user using a device coupled to a network to access a password-protected network resource, comprising:
A computer program product embodied in a computer-readable medium for adjusting an expiration time for a password of a user using a device coupled to a network to access a password-protected network resource, comprising:
A method for dynamically adjusting a password expiration period for a password used by a user to access a password-protected device based on access patterns of the user accessing the password-protected device.
