Abstract
To improve the security performance of a computer system, a retrieval component executing on at least one hardware processor obtains a list of known compromised passwords. A validation component executing on the at least one hardware processor obtains a specification of a putative password and risk-scores the putative password based at least in part on presence of the putative password in the list of known compromised passwords. The system obtains a specification of an actual password chosen in accordance with the risk score of the putative password. Access to at least one aspect of the computer system is controlled based on the actual chosen password.
