Abstract
One or more strong proofs are maintained as associated with an account of a user. In response to a request to change a security setting of the account, an attempt is made to confirm the request by using one of the one or more strong proofs to notify the user. The change is permitted if the request is confirmed via one or more of the strong proofs, and otherwise the change to the security setting of the account is kept unchanged.
