For example, an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) may comprise a user interface. The user interface may comprise a card reader. The card reader may be configured for card rotation about an axis of a bank card. The user interface may be configured to receive card rotation input from a user. The ATM may comprise at least one memory storing instructions. The ATM may comprise at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may comprise receiving identification information from the user. The operations may comprise receiving the card rotation input. The operations may comprise extracting a card rotation sequence from the card rotation input. When the card rotation sequence is within a predetermined threshold from a stored card rotation sequence corresponding to the identification information, the operations may comprise authenticating the user for an ATM operation. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) comprising: a user interface comprising a card reader, the card reader being configured for card rotation about an axis of a bank card, the user interface being configured to receive card rotation input from a user; at least one memory storing instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising: receiving identification information from the user; receiving the card rotation input;
