Abstract
A method for authenticating a password may include receiving a first entered password and determining a difference value between the first entered password and a stored password. The difference value may result from comparing the first entered password to the stored password. The method may also include determining that the difference value does not meet an acceptability standard, denying access to a restricted element, and determining a new acceptability standard.
