Abstract
A limited purpose account can be provided to a legitimate user to avoid some types of anti-abuse mechanisms from being triggered when the user connects to an identity verifier using a username known to belong to a limited purpose account. A limited purpose account is an account in which certain privileges of ordinary use are disabled or curtailed. A limited purpose account may be an account that can only be used with a limited number of applications or for a limited amount of time, thus reducing the ability of the limited purpose user to gain unauthorized access to resources. The operating system can reset itself to a previous state when the account is disconnected or when the device is turned off.
