Access using images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- presenting to a user multiple images, multiple identifiers and a challenge to select one of the identifiers for each of the images, wherein more identifiers than images are presented in a single access attempt and some identifiers correspond to the presented images and some identifiers do not correspond to the presented images;
receiving selected identifiers from the user from among the presented identifiers; and
providing access to a computing service based on a comparison of the selected identifiers with an answer to the challenge when the selected identifiers match the identifiers corresponding to the presented images.
