1. A method, comprising:
- initiating an account registration procedure;
receiving a proposed username at a computer-implemented server device from a device during the account registration procedure;
determining, at the computer-implemented server device, whether the proposed username is available for use with a new account;
communicating, from the computer-implemented server device, a response to the device indicating whether the proposed username is available for use with the new account, wherein the response comprises an image that contains a visually obfuscated representation of an alphanumeric message that indicates either a success when the proposed username is available for use with the new account or a failure when the proposed username is not available for use with the new account; and
presenting the response at the device.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to a system and related operating methods. A computer-implemented server device receives a request from a device that includes an identifier proposed for a potential account holder. The computer-implemented server device determines whether the identifier is available for use with a new account, and communicates a response to the device that indicates whether the identifier is available for use with the new account. The response is presented at the device and includes an image that contains a visually obfuscated representation of an alphanumeric message that indicates either a success or a failure.

9. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
a server comprising;
a processor and a memory, wherein the memory comprises computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the server to;receive, from a device, a request to perform an account registration procedure comprising a proposed username for a potential account holder; determine whether the proposed username is available for use with a new account; generate a response to be communicated to and presented at the device, wherein the response indicates whether the proposed username is available for use with the new account, wherein the response comprises an image that contains a visually obfuscated representation of an alphanumeric message that indicates either a success when the proposed username is available for use with the new account or a failure when the proposed username is not available for use with the new account. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
