Zusammenfassung: | A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, receive cues, one-time passwords, and a presentation order. The cues and one-time passwords are associated with a user name. In response to a cue request, the cues are presented in the presentation order and input data is received. If the input data matches the associated one-time password, then access to secure information is granted and the one-time password is invalidated. If the input data does not match the associated one-time password, then access to secure information is denied. In various embodiments, the cues may be text, images, audio, or video. In this way, in an embodiment, one-time passwords may be used in response to cues, which may increase security when accessing information from a non-trusted client because if the one-time password is misappropriated via the non-trusted client, the one-time password is no longer valid for future use. |
