The field of invention relates generally to managing authentication data. The authentication management card is a current art standalone credit/smart card sized (100) processing (101) and memory device (102) (103) (104) that is powered by a battery with an extended life (105) with an integrated alphanumeric display (106) and an interface keypad (107) connected to the processor through the Input/Output Interface (108). The operating system on the card (401) verifies access to the authentication management card by a user entered PIN code (402). The application (403) provides the interface to the user to retrieve authentication data on the authentication management card using a PIN challenge. Random strong authentication data is stored either in an encrypted format (405) or in the form of an algorithm (404) on the card and can be retrieved using a PIN challenge.
An authentication data management card device, to manage authentication data such as passwords and password reset identity, comprising an electronic alphanumeric display and having interface keypad with an alphanumeric and/or control and/or power buttons on a credit card size device.
An authentication data management card device substantially as herein before described with reference to FIGS. 1-9 of the accompanying drawings.
Method of typing alphabets on the numeral keypad of a smart credit card device as described in FIG. 8 and description of FIG. 8 in the specification.
Method of using an algorithm with a key to create and retrieve strong authentication data for various authentication systems as described in FIG. 4 and description of FIG. 4 in the specification.
