Method and system for establishing a biometrically enabled password
A method (10) and system (50) for using a biometrically enabled password can include an input device (58) capable of entering a password entry and a processor (56) coupled to the input device. The processor can monitor (16 or 26) a cadence such as monitoring a keystroke signature, store the cadence of the password entry, compare (28) the cadence of a subsequent password entry with the cadence of at least one previous password entry, establish (30) a stability metric with respect to the cadences compared, and require (32) both the password entry and the cadence once the cadence meets the stability metric. The processor can require only the password entry until the stability metric for the cadence is achieved. The processor can also determine (14) if the password entry is new and optionally require (18) only the password entry to enter the system if determined as new.
