Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for managing the resetting of online identities or accounts of users of Internet web pages. One method includes: receiving, through an electronic device, a request to reset login information to access a web page associated with the user's online account; determining that an IP address associated with the request is not identified as being suspicious; receiving user data intrinsic to the user's request; automatically verifying two or more values of the data intrinsic to the user's request as being indicative of a level of trust of the identity of the user; and transmitting, to the user over the Internet, a subset of options to reset the login information, the subset being selected based on the level of trust.

1-20. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method for managing resetting of user accounts, the method comprising:
- receiving, over a network, a request to reset login information to access an online account of a user;
- comparing, at an online account server, a time of the request to reset login information to a preset time or amount of time;
- receiving, over the network, intrinsic user data associated with the request to reset login information, wherein the intrinsic user data includes a device finger print and a type of browser used to make the request;
- identifying, at the online account server, two or more values of the intrinsic user data;
- and
- transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information, wherein the subset of options to reset the login information is selected by the online account server based on the identified two or more values of the intrinsic user data.
A system for managing resetting of online identities or accounts of users, the system including:
- a data storage device storing instructions for managing resetting of online identities or accounts of users;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
- receiving, over a network, a request to reset login information to access an online account of a user;
- comparing, at an online account server, a time of the request to reset login information to a preset time or amount of time;
- receiving, over the network, intrinsic user data associated with the request to reset login information, wherein the intrinsic user data includes a device finger print and a type of browser used to make the request;
- identifying, at the online account server, two or more values of the intrinsic user data;
- and
- transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information, wherein the subset of options to reset the login information is selected by the online account server based on the identified two or more values of the intrinsic user data.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method for managing resetting of online identities or accounts of users, the method including:
- receiving, over a network, a request to reset login information to access an online account of a user;
- comparing, at an online account server, a time of the request to reset login information to a preset time or amount of time;
- receiving, over the network, intrinsic user data associated with the request to reset login information, wherein the intrinsic user data includes a device finger print and a type of browser used to make the request;
- identifying, at the online account server, two or more values of the intrinsic user data;
- and
- transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information, wherein the subset of options to reset the login information is selected by the online account server based on the identified two or more values of the intrinsic user data.
