PASSWORD EXPIRATION BASED ON VULNERABILITY DETECTION
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for password expiration based on vulnerability detection, the computer implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request for a password after re-activation of a user account;
generating a password to create a hashed password;
comparing the hashed password to a previously created password for a user to determine a match entry; and
responsive to determining a match entry, expiring an account of the user with respect to the match entry.

Abstract
Illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, a data processing system and a computer program product for password expiration based on vulnerability detection. The computer implemented method comprises receiving a request for a password after re-activating a user account and requesting a password generator, to create a hashed password. The method further comprises comparing the hashed password to a previously created password of a user, to determine a match entry. Responsive to determining a match entry, expiring an account of the user with respect to the match entry.

7. A data processing system for password expiration based on vulnerability detection, the data processing system comprising:
-
a bus; a memory connected to the bus; a display connected to the bus; a communications unit connected to the bus; a persistent storage connected to the bus, wherein the persistent storage contains computer usable program code; a processing unit connected to the bus;
wherein the processing units executes the computer usable program code to;create a receiver capable of receiving a request for a password after re-activating a user account; create a generator capable of generating a password to create a hashed password; create a comparator capable of comparing the hashed password to a previously created password of a user to determine a match entry; and create an expiration component responsive to determining a match entry, capable of expiring an account of the user with respect to the match entry. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
