Abstract

A method, computer system and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are provided for validating a secure authentication token for accessing an application. The method captures a user gesture provided by a user as an authentication token and analyzes the gesture to evaluate a measure of complexity of the gesture. Responsive to a determination that the measure of complexity does not meet a minimum measure of complexity, repeating the capturing and analyzing steps until the gesture meets the defined measure of complexity. Then the user is requested to repeat the approved gesture and the repeated gesture is captured, and it is determined if the repeated gesture meets defined requirements for repeatability. Responsive to a determination that the repeated gesture does not meet the requirements for repeatability, the method is repeated; and, responsive to a determination that the repeated gesture does meet the requirements for repeatability, the gesture is validated as a secure authentication token.
