Abstract
Methods, systems, and products authenticate users for access to devices, applications, and services. Skills of a user are learned over time, such that an electronic model of random subject matter may be generated. The user is prompted to interpret the random subject matter, such as with an electronic drawing. The user'"'"'s interpretation is then compared to the electronic model of the random subject matter. If the user'"'"'s interpretation matches the electronic model, the user may be authenticated.
