Login Method Detecting Frequent Terminals for Account Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in managing multiple network application login information, and when this information is leaked, frequently used applications can be easily accessed by unauthorized users, compromising security.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that detect if a terminal is frequently used for an application account, sending verification information to a second terminal if it's not, and allowing login only when the received verification information matches, thereby enhancing security by preventing unauthorized access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users bind additional login information with frequently used network applications to simplify login, then login convenience is improved, but security deteriorates because leaked login information allows unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection to identify frequently used terminals and pre-configures verification rules for these terminals. When a login attempt is detected, the system checks whether the terminal is in the frequently used terminal list before requiring verification, thereby preparing security measures in advance while maintaining convenience for legitimate users
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies different verification requirements to different terminals based on their usage patterns. Frequently used terminals enjoy streamlined login processes, while new or unrecognized terminals trigger additional verification steps. This localized quality approach ensures that security measures are applied selectively rather than uniformly, balancing convenience and security
2Reliability
If the system requires verification information for all login attempts, then security is improved, but login efficiency deteriorates due to additional verification steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies verification measures partially rather than universally. By identifying frequently used terminals through detection mechanisms, the system exempts these terminals from additional verification steps while applying strict verification to new or unrecognized terminals. This partial action approach maintains security for high-risk logins while improving efficiency for legitimate, recurring logins

AI summary
Various embodiments provide methods, apparatus, and systems for logging in an application account. A request for logging in an application account sent from a first terminal can be received. It is detected if the first terminal can be included in frequently used terminals corresponding to the application account. First verification information can be sent to a second terminal bound with the application account, when it is detected the first terminal is not included in the frequently used terminals corresponding to the application account. Second verification information can be received from the first terminal to detect if the second verification information matches the first verification information. When it is detected that the second verification information matches the first verification information, the request for logging in the application account can be responded.
