Abstract
The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a system and method to bolster website and mobile authentication providing an additional security layer for access to password protected information. An authorized user is asked to select a kill switch, including one or more image categories or alphanumeric characters that the authorized user would never select while inputting their password. If the kill switch is entered once or too many times, as defined and specified ahead of time by a set of rules and conditions, during password entry, the kill switch kills the password entry operation. User input can be evaluated at the time of entry according to these rules by a rule processing decision engine. Killing the operation can include taking one or more actions, such as locking out the user, sending a notification of breach, and cataloging information about the source of the breach.
