Abstract
The security of an entity is protected by using passcodes. A passcode device generates a passcode. In an embodiment, the passcode is generated in response to receipt of user information. The passcode is received by another system, which authenticates the passcode by at least generating a passcode from a passcode generator, and comparing the generated passcode with the received passcode. The passcode is temporary. At a later use a different passcode is generated from a different passcode generator.

A system comprising:
- a memory storing a current passcode generator and user information;
- circuitry that in response to newly receiving user information,
- authenticates the user information that was newly received by determining whether there is a match between the user information stored and the user information newly received, and if there is a match, the circuitry generates a new passcode generator from the current passcode generator;

- wherein
- an initial passcode generator is a value derived from earlier acquired user information associated with a user from which the user information is expected to have been received, and
- the initial passcode generator is a value from which deriving the earlier received user information is expected to be intractable.
