Abstract
A method of a wireless communication device for accessing secure resources of a resource provider. For one embodiment, a password associated with the wireless communication device is partitioned into a plurality of portions, such as individual alphanumeric characters. A multiple choice question is queried for each portion of the password. Access is granted in response to determining that all portions of the password have been answered correctly by the user. For another embodiment, the password is presented as one of choices for a multiple choice question for a session where the user attempts to access the secure resources. The choices for the query remain the same for each session, but the order in which these choices are presented changes from session-to-session.
