Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a receiver, a selector, a converter, and an authentication module. The receiver receives data on a password input through a keyboard. The selector selects one of key layouts of different keyboards. The converter converts the data on the password received through the keyboard to a password character string according to the one of the key layouts. The authentication module determines that the password is authenticated when information based on the password character string obtained by the converter for the one of the key layouts matches information based on a registered password character string.
