Description

Method and device for setting password protection questions

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of security technology, and in particular to a method for setting a password protection question and a device for setting a password protection question.

Background Art

With the development of the Internet, there are more and more platforms with different service functions. For example, platforms can provide portals, instant messaging tools, etc. These platforms bring convenience to people's lives and work.

Users typically register an account on the platform and set a corresponding password to ensure the security of the account. Users use their account and password to receive services provided by the platform. For example, users use their account and password to log in to instant messaging tools and communicate with other users.

After setting a password, users are prone to forgetting it or having it stolen, which can make the account unusable. Furthermore, the user information in the account will take up a large amount of storage resources. Therefore, in order to reduce user churn and resource usage caused by password loss, the platform will use password protection questions to perform security authentication on the user's identity.

When a user needs to change their password, the platform will ask them to answer the password protection question. If the answer is correct, the current user will be granted the right to reset the password.

Currently, the platform generally randomly provides several password protection questions for users to choose from, and users set corresponding answers to the password protection questions.

Since users rarely use the password protection questions after setting them, they may easily forget the answers they set. When needed, they cannot correctly answer the password protection questions and are unable to retrieve their passwords.

Therefore, a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art is: how to provide a setting mechanism for password protection questions, improve the practicality of password protection questions, and reduce the occupation of storage resources by useless user information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

In the internet world, user information is typically represented by a specific set of data. Network systems of all types rely on identifying users' digital identities to confirm and grant corresponding operational permissions. In the early days of the internet, passwords were the core element for network systems to identify the legitimate owners and operators of digital identities within the network (i.e., ensuring that the operator's physical and digital identities correspond).

As the Internet industry develops to a new level, due to the openness and interconnectedness of computer systems, users' digital identities on the Internet can easily be intercepted by criminals using Trojan viruses and hacker programs, thereby infringing on various interests of users.

Based on this, in order for the network system to ensure the unity of the user's physical identity and digital identity, it is necessary to have a strengthened password method or product, thus, password protection came into being.

Password protection refers to security products that record user identity and are responsible for user identity identification.

Password protection questions can be used to protect the security of account passwords in the form of answering questions. Since password protection questions generally contain the user's personal private information, such as the name of the junior high school class teacher, the spouse's birthday, the university student number, etc., the answer is usually only known to the user who set it, making it a reliable password protection.

1 , there is shown an example diagram of setting a traditional password protection question.

As shown in 1, in the scenario 102 of setting password protection (such as password protection questions), the user 101 can send a password protection question setting request to the service platform in step 104. The service platform can randomly select three password protection questions in step 105 for the user 101 to set, and return the setting success information in step 106. The service platform can store the password protection questions and the corresponding answers.

In the case of forgetting or theft of password, the user 101 enters the password-required scene 103. The user 101 can send a password modification request to the service platform in step 107, and the service platform can extract the three password protection questions set previously in step 108 and wait for the user to answer.

Since password protection questions are generally only used in special scenarios (e.g., resetting a password), they are rarely used, and the answers are easily forgotten by user 101. Even the password protection questions themselves are easily forgotten by user 101, and user 101 often fails to answer them correctly. Therefore, the service platform often returns a message indicating that the answer to the password protection question is incorrect in step 109, making it impossible for user 101 to change the password.

Password protection questions set in the traditional way cannot play a good role in password protection and are less practical. Therefore, one of the core concepts of the embodiment of the present application is proposed. According to the user's preferences or interests, password protection questions that are close to the user's preferences or interests are associated. This can deepen the user's impression of the password protection questions and ensure that they can answer the password protection questions correctly when they are needed, so that the password protection questions can truly play a role in password protection.

2 , a flowchart of a method for setting a password protection question according to an embodiment 1 of the present invention is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

Step 201, receiving a request for setting a password protection question for a password;

In actual applications, the request to set a password protection question may refer to an instruction issued by a user to set a password protection question for a certain password.

For example, the user may submit a request to set the password protection question on a designated web page, or through a designated control of an application, or through other methods.

It should be noted that the password protected by the password protection question can be at least one of the account password and the independent password.

The account password may be a password for logging into the user account; and the independent password may be a password for protecting certain business objects after logging into the user account.

For example, the independent password can be a password for viewing chat records in an instant messaging tool, logging into an associated mailbox, or a password for confirming payment, or a password for protecting the processing of virtual items (such as trading, destruction, etc.), etc. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

In a specific implementation, the setting request may include a user identifier, which may be information that can represent a specific user, and may specifically include a user account, user information associated with the user account (other user accounts, email, phone number, name), the user's IP (Internet Protocol, a protocol for interconnection between networks) address, COOKIE ID, etc.

Step 202: extract one or more setting information corresponding to the user identifier;

The setting information may be information set in a database, which to a certain extent characterizes the preferences or interests of the user corresponding to the user identifier.

In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the setting information may include preference information, and the setting information may be obtained in the following manner:

Sub-step S11, obtaining behavior information corresponding to the user identifier;

Sub-step S12: learning preference information from the behavior information.

Behavior information can be information that records user operation behaviors, and can include online operation behaviors, such as shopping, browsing web pages, playing streaming media, etc., or local operation behaviors, such as playing games, browsing e-books, playing audio/video, etc.

In an embodiment of the present application, the user's preference information can be obtained by learning the user's behavior information. The preference information can be information that identifies the user's preferences/interests.

For example, if we analyze a user's shopping behavior information, we find that the user purchased 100 pieces of clothing, including 75 dresses, 10 shirts, 10 hoodies, and 5 windbreakers. The frequency of purchasing dresses is relatively high, so we can learn that the user's preference information is "Clothes: Dresses".

The embodiment of the present application can pre-learn the user's preference information offline, store it in the database, and directly retrieve it when needed.

Of course, the embodiment of the present application can also learn user preference information online, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

In another preferred embodiment of the present application, step 202 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S13: extracting one or more previously set setting information corresponding to the user identification from a preset database.

By using the embodiments of the present application, users can first set some options in scenarios such as websites and communication tools, for example, set personal information, subscribed information, etc., and store them in a database.

Among them, certain setting information can represent the user's preferences or interests to a certain extent.

For example, in a personal profile, there are usually options such as "Favorite Star", "Favorite Color", "City I Most Want to Visit", etc.

For another example, when subscribing to information, users can choose to subscribe to information (such as news, talk shows, etc.) about a certain football club, a certain comic, or a certain topic (such as military, beauty, or food).

After the setting is completed, the setting information can be saved in the database and associated with the user ID.

For example, if a user with the account "123456" sets his "favorite star" to "Zhang San" and his "most desired city" to "Beijing" on the website and subscribes to information about the Beijing Football Club, the following records can be saved in the database:

User Account Favorite star The city I most want to visit Subscribed News 123456 Zhang San Beijing Beijing Football Club

In the embodiment of the present invention, one or more setting information representing preferences or interests associated with the user identification may be queried in a database, and the one or more setting information may be extracted.

Step 203: obtaining one or more password protection questions that match the one or more setting information respectively;

In a specific implementation, obtaining one or more matching password protection questions based on one or more setting information representing preferences or interests can enhance the user's understanding of the password protection questions.

In a preferred embodiment of the present application, step 203 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S21 : searching a preset question bank for one or more password-protected questions containing the one or more setting information.

By applying the embodiment of the present invention, a question bank may be pre-set, which contains some basic password-protected questions, such as "Where is your favorite place to go?", "Who is your favorite star?", etc.

In an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to compare whether the password-protected questions in the question bank contain setting information, and if so, extract the password-protected questions.

For example, the database retrieves the user's settings for user account "123456," and finds that the user's "Favorite Star" is "Zhang San." Based on the string "Favorite Star," the question bank is searched for password-protected questions that begin with "Favorite Star." When compared with the password-protected question "Who is your favorite star?", it is found that the password-protected question also contains the string "Favorite Star." Therefore, "Who is your favorite star?" is selected as the password-protected question for the current user.

In a preferred embodiment of the present application, step 203 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S31, searching a preset question bank for one or more password-protected questions having the same semantics as the one or more setting information;

Sub-step S32, determining whether the one or more setting information matches the category information; if so, executing sub-step S33;

Sub-step S33: extracting the password protection question.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a question bank can be pre-set, which contains some basic password-protected questions. Each password-protected question can have corresponding category information. For example, the password-protected question "Where is your favorite place to go?" is categorized as geography, the password-protected question "Who is your favorite celebrity?" is categorized as entertainment, and so on.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when no password-protected question containing setting information is found in the question bank, a password-protected question with the same semantics as the setting information can be searched to determine whether the setting information is consistent with the category information of the password-protected question. If so, the password-protected question is extracted.

In a specific implementation, the semantic similarity between the preference information and the password protection question may be calculated. If the semantic similarity exceeds a similarity threshold, it may be considered that the preference information and the password protection question have the same semantics.

There are two main methods for calculating semantic similarity. One method is to organize the concepts of related words in a tree structure through a semantic dictionary for calculation; the other method is to use statistical methods to solve the problem through word context information.

For example, the database retrieves the user settings for user account "123456," and the user's "most desired city" is "Beijing." Based on the string "most desired city," no password-protected questions beginning with "most desired city" are found in the question bank. When comparing the password-protected question "Where is the place I most want to go?" with "Where is the place I most want to go?", it is found that the password-protected question has the same semantics as "most desired city." Since "Where is the place I most want to go?" is classified as geography, and "most desired city" is also classified as geography, "Where is the place I most want to go?" can be selected as the password-protected question for the current user.

In a preferred embodiment of the present application, step 203 may include the following sub-steps:

Sub-step S41: generating one or more password protection questions using the one or more setting information.

In an embodiment of the present invention, when no password-protected questions containing setting information or password-protected questions with the same semantics as the setting information are found in the question bank, the setting information may be used to generate password-protected questions according to specified generation rules.

For example, the database retrieves the user account "123456"'s settings information, which shows that the user subscribes to the news "Beijing Football Club." Since the string "Beijing Football Club" doesn't match any password-protected questions beginning with "The city I most want to visit" or semantically equivalent to "Beijing Football Club," we can extract the string "football club" from the settings information "Beijing Football Club" and add the strings "favorite" and "Which one?" to generate the password-protected question "What is your favorite football club?"

For another example, for the preference information "clothing: dress", which means that the user likes dresses in the clothing category, the character string "clothing" is extracted, and the character strings "favorite" and "what is it?" are added to generate the password-protected question "What is your favorite clothing?".

It should be noted that there may be different generation rules for different types of setting information, and those skilled in the art may set them according to actual conditions.

Step 204: output the one or more password protection questions.

In a specific implementation, the password protection question can be output to the object that submits the password protection question setting request for display, so that the user can select and set the corresponding answer.

For example, if a user submits a request to set the password protection question on a designated web page, the one or more password protection questions can be output to the designated web page for display; if a user submits a request to set the password protection question through a designated control of an application, the one or more password protection questions can be output to a designated interface in the application for display; if a user submits a request to set the password protection question through other means, it can be displayed by outputting it to a corresponding object.

In an embodiment of the present application, in response to a request to set a password protection question, one or more setting information corresponding to a user identifier is extracted to obtain one or more password protection questions that match the one or more setting information. Since the setting information can represent the user's preferences or interests to a certain extent, when the user sets the password protection question, the password protection question related to the user's preferences or interests can be output, thereby increasing the user's impression of the password protection question, thereby reducing the situation where the user forgets to set the password protection question and its answer, and improving the practicality of the password protection question.

3 , a flowchart of a second embodiment of a method for setting a password protection question of the present application is shown, which may specifically include the following steps:

Step 301: receiving a request for setting a password protection question for a password; the setting request includes a user identifier;

Step 302: extract one or more setting information corresponding to the user identifier;

Step 303: Obtain one or more password protection questions that match the one or more setting information respectively;

Step 304: output the one or more password protection questions.

Step 305, receiving one or more first answers to the one or more password-protected questions;

Step 306: Establish associations between the one or more password-protected questions and the one or more first answers.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the user can set a first answer for all or part of the output password protection questions, receive the first answer in the background, establish an association between the first answer and the password protection question, store it in the database, and verify the identity information when resetting the password, etc.

For example, a user with the account "123456" is given three password-protected questions: "Who is your favorite celebrity?", "Where is your favorite place to go?", and "What is your favorite football club?". The user sets corresponding answers for all three questions: "Zhang San", "Beijing", and "Beijing Football Club". Then, the following associations can be established:

Password protection issues First answer Who is your favorite star? Zhang San Where is the place you most want to go? Beijing Which is your favorite football club? Beijing Football Club

Step 307: When a request to modify the password is received, output one or more password protection questions corresponding to the password;

Step 308, receiving one or more second answers to the one or more password-protected questions;

Step 309: When the one or more second answers are the same as the one or more first answers associated with the one or more password-protected questions, configure the permission to modify the password.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a password modification request may refer to an instruction issued by a user to modify a certain password.

In the event of a forgotten or stolen password, a user can request a password change to reset it. This requires verification of the user's identity to determine if they are the legitimate owner of the digital identity associated with the password. If verification is successful, the user is confirmed to have permission to change their password and is allowed to do so.

For example, if the current user issues a password modification request for the user account "123456", one or more password protection questions corresponding to the password of the user account "123456" can be searched in the database and output for display, as shown in the following table:

Answer Question 1 Who is your favorite star? Zhang San Question 2 Where is the place you most want to go? Beijing Question 3 Which is your favorite football club? Beijing Football Club

If the user enters the second answer in the answer column as shown in the table above, which is "Zhang San", "Beijing", and "Beijing Football Club", respectively, and it is determined that the second answer is the same as the first answer associated with the password protection question, the current user is allowed to modify the password.

In response to a password modification request, an embodiment of the present application outputs a password protection question corresponding to the password. When the second answer to the password protection question is the same as the first answer, the password modification is allowed. Since the password protection question can be set according to the user's preferences or interests, the user can more easily answer the password protection question to regain ownership of the account, which greatly improves the simplicity of password protection operations, reduces the appearance of useless user information, and thereby reduces the storage resources occupied by useless user information.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present application, the following describes a method for setting password protection questions in the embodiments of the present application through specific examples.

4 , there is shown an example diagram of setting a password protection question of the present application.

As shown in Figure 4, in the scenario 402 of setting password protection (such as password protection questions), the user 401 can send a password protection question setting request to the service platform in step 405. The service platform can select three password protection questions in step 406 based on the setting information that can identify the user's preferences or interests 403, return the three password protection questions in step 407, and display the three password protection questions in step 408 to allow the user 401 to set them. After the setting is successful, the information of successful setting is returned in step 409. The service platform can establish an association between the password protection questions and the corresponding answers, and store them in the database.

In the case of password forgetting or password theft, the user enters the password-required scene 404. The user 401 can send a password modification request to the service platform in step 410, and the service platform can extract the three password protection questions set previously in step 411 and wait for the user to answer.

Since the password protection question is set based on the user's preferences or interests, even if the probability of use is small, the answer to the question related to the user's personal information is not easily forgotten by the user 101, and the user can easily answer it successfully. Therefore, the service platform often returns the information that the answer to the password protection question is correct in step 412, allowing the user 401 to change the password.

In this example, based on the user's preferences or interests, password protection questions that are similar to the user's preferences or interests are associated, which can deepen the user's impression of the password protection questions and ensure that they can answer the password protection questions correctly when they are needed, so that the password protection questions can truly play a role in password protection.

It should be noted that for the method embodiments, for the sake of simplicity, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that the embodiments of the present application are not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to the embodiments of the present application, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily required by the embodiments of the present application.
