Abstract
A wearable user device is provided, which can be donned and doffed by a user, and which is configured for use in a user authentication system. To enhance the security of a user authentication, the wearable user device comprises a detector device to detect a donned or doffed condition of said wearable user device; and an alert processing module, connected with said detector device. The alert processing module is configured to determine whether said wearable user device is doffed forcefully, and if said wearable user device is doffed forcefully, to transmit an authentication exception corresponding to a forceful doffed condition to an authentication server.
