Sensor-based authentication to a computer network-based service

A computer-implemented process for using a password repository server to facilitate a remote computing device's access to a password protected service over a computer network, comprising:

• using the password repository server to perform the following process actions:
• receiving a request via the computer network from the remote computing device to register the remote computing device;
• sending a prompt via the computer network to the remote computing device to provide information comprising the device's identity;
• receiving said information comprising the device's identity from the remote computing device via the computer network;
• sending a prompt via the computer network to the remote computing device to generate and stream an authenticating sensor-based password to the password repository server;
• receiving the authenticating sensor-based password from the remote computing device via the computer network;
• designating the received authenticating sensor-based password to be the sensor-based password that resides on the password repository server and which represents the sensor-based password pre-arranged to authenticate the remote computing device's right to access a password protected network-based service;
• receiving a request via the computer network from the remote computing device to obtain access to a password protected network-based service specified in the request;
• receiving a sensor-based password via the computer network which was generated and streamed, without caching, by the remote computing device;
• determining if the received sensor-based password matches the sensor-based password resident on the password repository server which has been pre-arranged to authenticate the remote computing device's right to access the specified password protected network-based service;
• and
• whenever it is determined that the received sensor-based password matches said sensor-based password resident on the password repository server, submitting an authenticating password to the specified password protected network-based service via the computer network, wherein the authenticating password submitted to the specified password protected network-based service has been pre-arranged to allow the remote computing device's access to the service.
