1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to;
receive, from a user device accessing a website via a browser, a login request to access information associated with the website;
obtain at least one available font type from the user device;
determine whether the at least one available font type is located within a database;
determine whether the available font type is attributable to a legitimate entity, wherein if the available font type is attributable to a legitimate entity, determine based at least in part on the at least one available font type, whether to grant access to the information associated with the website; and
wherein if the available font type is not attributable to a legitimate entity, request additional credentials from the user device and determine whether to grant access to the information based on the additional credentials from the user device.

Abstract
A login request to access information associated with a website may be received from a user device accessing the website via a browser. A determination may be made as to whether a browser attribute of the browser, font type, or service set identifier (SSID) information is located within a database. A further determination may be made as to whether to grant access to the information associated with the website. The determination as to whether to grant access to the information associated with the website may be based at least in part on the browser attribute font type, or service set identifier (SSID) information.

9. A computer-implemented method of determining whether to grant a user access to information associated with a website, the computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, by a processor and from a user device accessing a website via a browser, a login request to access information associated with the website; requesting, from the user device accessing the website via the browser, at least one available font type; identifying, within a database, one or more records comprising at least one of the at least one available font type; and determine whether the available font type is attributable to a legitimate entity, wherein if the available font type is attributable to a legitimate entity, determine based at least in part on the at least one available font type, whether to grant access to the information associated with the website; wherein if the available font type is not in the database requesting, from the user device accessing the website via the browser, a service set identifier (SSID) information stored on the user device; determining, based partially on either the available font type or the SSID information, whether to grant access to the information associated with the website; wherein if the available font type or the SSID information is not attributable to a legitimate entity, request additional credentials from the user device and determine whether to grant access to the information based on the additional credentials from the user device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause at least one computing device to:
-
receive, from a user device accessing a website via a browser, a login request to access information associated with the website; receive an available font type and service set identifier (SSID) information associated with the user device; determine whether the available font type and the SSID is attributable to a legitimate entity, wherein if the available font type of the SSID is attributable to a legitimate entity, determine based at least in part on the available font type or the SSID, whether to grant access to the information associated with the website; and determine, based at least in part on the available font type and the SSID information, whether to request additional information from the user device prior to granting access to the information associated with the website. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
