Abstract
A system and method for recovering an account based at least in part on peer attestation are disclosed. In some implementations, the system includes a trusted contact identifier module, a user interaction module, a trusted contact interaction module and a message generation module. The trusted contact identifier module analyzes a contact database of a user and identifies a selection of trusted contacts that satisfied a pre-defined criteria. The user interaction module presents the selection of trusted contacts and receives from the user an input including at least one selected trusted contact and a personalized message composed by the user. The trusted contact interaction module transmits the personalized message and a hyperlink for verifying the identity of the user to the at least one selected trusted contact and receives a response therefrom. The message generation module sends a message to the user in response to receiving the response.
