Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides an apparatus for facilitating no-look one-handed authentication. The apparatus includes logic to identify whether a user-manipulatable input is in one of a plurality of possible states for a time period, and authenticate a user based at least partially on identification that the user-manipulatable input is in the one of the plurality of possible states for the time period.
Claims27
An apparatus to facilitate authentication, the apparatus comprising:
- logic, the logic at least partially including hardware logic, the logic to:
- identify whether a user-manipulatable input is in one of a plurality of possible states for a time period;
- and
- authenticate a user based at least partially on identification that the user-manipulatable input is in the one of the plurality of possible states for the time period.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, having instructions thereon to cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- identify whether a user-manipulatable input is in one of a plurality of possible states for a time period;
- and
- authenticate a user based at least partially on identification that the user-manipulatable input is in the one of the plurality of possible states for the time period.
A computing device comprising:
- a button;
- a display;
- logic, the logic at least partially including hardware logic, the logic to:
- display information on the display to prompt a user for authentication input;
- identify whether the button is in one of a plurality of possible states for a time period;
- and
- authenticate the user based at least partially on identification that the button is in the one of the plurality of possible states for the time period.
