Abstract
A computer-implemented method for controlling access to credentials may include (i) maintaining, by a computing device, a set of applications for which attempting to access digital credentials comprises anomalous behavior, (ii) monitoring, by the computing device, each application within the set of applications for attempts to access digital credentials, (iii) automatically detecting, while monitoring for attempts to access digital credentials, an attempt of an application in the set of applications to access a digital credential, and (iv) performing, in response to detecting the attempt to access the digital credential, a security action to secure the digital credential. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
