Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for increasing the security of a database. A database is coupled with an access manager to limit certain applications that use the database to store user password information to queries that return at most one row. Additionally, returning a record may be limited to a case where the query includes the hash of the user name and password that is stored in the database. Other techniques may be implemented for other user account operations, such as password resets.
