Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed for providing user authentication based on users' access patterns to a plurality of digital objects. The plurality of digital objects may include software applications installed on user devices or data objects within a specific application (e.g., UI objects or database objects). The access patterns can include an order of access that a user routinely takes to access such objects. Historical user behavioral information can be collected and used to generate such patterns for users. The patterns may be compared with subsequent user behavioral information to determine authenticity of subsequent users associated with the subsequent user behavioral information. For example, a subsequent order of access to digital objects can be compared with historical access patterns to determine whether there is a match. Authentication may or may not be requested based on the result of such a comparison.
