Abstract
A method for disabling a device associated with a virtual identity may include receiving, from the device, a request to use the virtual identity, where the request that may include a passcode guess and a device identifier. The method may also include determining that the passcode guess does not authorize use of the virtual identity and incrementing a number of incorrect passcode guesses received within a time interval. The method may additionally include determining that the number of incorrect passcode guesses received within the time interval is greater than or equal to a threshold. The method may further include storing an indication that subsequent requests associated with the device identifier should not authorize use of the virtual identity.
