1. A method comprising:
- monitoring a plurality of sensors located in an oral cavity of a user and configured to measure one or more properties controllable by the user;
identifying a sequence of stimuli based on monitoring the plurality of sensors, wherein the sequence of stimuli comprises, for each respective stimulus, a respective pressure on a respective sensor, wherein the respective pressure is above a pressure threshold and is applied by a tongue of the user contacting the respective sensor;
recording the sequence of stimuli, the recording comprising a sequence of sensors and a sequence of times, the sequence of sensors corresponding to sensors receiving a pressure above the pressure threshold, and the sequence of times corresponding to respective times the respective sensors in the sequence received pressure above the pressure threshold;
comparing the sequence of stimuli to a password, wherein the password is associated with a user device, wherein the password comprises a pressure above the pressure threshold for each sensor in a sequence of sensors;
unlocking at least a portion of the user device in response to determining, based on comparing the sequence of stimuli to the password, that the sequence of stimuli matches the password.

Abstract
A user manages security of one or more user devices by manipulating one or more sensors located in the user'"'"'s mouth in a predetermined pattern corresponding to a password. The matching of the predetermined pattern to the password unlocks at least a portion of at least one user device.

12. A computer program product for authenticating a user device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
-
monitoring respective data received from a plurality of sensors each located in a mouth of a user and configured to sense respective stimuli controllable by the user; determining a sequence of stimuli based on the monitored data received from the plurality of sensors, wherein the sequence of stimuli comprises, for each respective stimulus, a respective pressure on a respective sensor, wherein the respective pressure is above a pressure threshold and is applied by a tongue of the user contacting the respective sensor; recording the sequence of stimuli, the recording comprising a sequence of sensors and a sequence of times, the sequence of sensors corresponding to sensors receiving a pressure above the pressure threshold, and the sequence of times corresponding to respective times the respective sensors in the sequence received pressure above the pressure threshold; comparing the sequence of stimuli to a password, wherein the password is associated with a user device, wherein the password comprises a pressure above the pressure threshold for each sensor in a sequence of sensors; unlocking at least a portion of the user device in response to determining, based on comparing the sequence of stimuli to the password, that the sequence of stimuli matches the password. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
