Abstract
A method and system for password validation. A user identifier (ID) and a user keying password are received from a user in conjunction with reception of a request from the user to obtain access to an application. The user keying password is a sequence of characters including at least one character from a first set of characters and at least one character from a second set of characters. The first set of characters are text characters allowed for defining a user password. The second set of characters are keying characters not allowed for defining a user password. It is determined whether the received user keying password matches a keying password reference. The keying password reference is based on a password definition rule.
