1. A computer-implemented method (CIM) comprising:

  • receiving user registration data, wherein the user registration data includes a set of authentication parameters, wherein a given authentication parameter is associated with at least one physical pressure-based input value(s) corresponding to a force value applied to a pressure-sensitive input module, and the set of authentication parameters includes the following parameters;

    (i) an access code, (ii) a time, (iii) a name of the user, and (iv) a geographical location, where a given physical pressure-based input of the at least one physical pressure-based input value(s) associated with the access code is associated with a single character of an access code string and further associated with a sound corresponding to the force value applied to a pressure-sensitive input module, where single characters of the access code string are either an alphanumeric character or a symbol character;

    receiving, by the one or more computer processors, an access request requiring an authentication from the user, wherein the access request includes the one or more physical pressure-based input value(s) by the user associated with the set of authentication parameters, wherein the pressure-based authentication includes both a pressure input value and the sound based on the pressure input value for a given character of the access code string;

    determining, by the one or more computer processors, whether the set of authentication parameters of the access request match the user registration data; and

    responsive to determining that the authentication data matches the registration data, authenticating, by the one or more computer processors, access for the user.
