Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide a program for recovering access to an account. The program receives an access recovery parameter (ARP) after providing a first credential to log into an account and providing a notification of a second credential necessary for accessing another resource. The program then receives a request to modify the first credential and receives the second credential. Next, after authenticating the second credential, the program uses the ARP to modify the first credential without providing the first credential.
