Abstract
A system for providing a password hint authenticates a username and password against a stored username and stored password. Upon failure of the authentication, the system determines a password formation rule that was in force when the user created the stored password then compares the password to the password formation rule and if the password violated any part of the password formation rule, the system reports each part of the password that violated the any part of the password formation rule.
