System and method using personal identification numbers and associated prompts for controlling unauthorized use of a security device and unauthorized access to a resource
A system and method using personal identification numbers and associated prompts for controlling unauthorized use of a security device and unauthorized access to a resource. The method includes requesting an authorized user of a security device to select a set of N PINs and N distinct phrases, each one of the N distinct phrases being associated with a corresponding one of the N PINs for acting as a prompt to remind the user of the corresponding one of the N PINs. A current user of the security device is prompted using one of the N distinct phrases and the user's response to the prompt is compared to the associated PIN to determine whether the current user of the security device is the authorized user. The current user is granted access to the resource or is granted use of the security device if it is determined that the current user of the security device is the authorized user.
