Abstract
In an example embodiment, a system for allowing one or more password errors may store a correct password for a user and receive an attempted login from a user device. The attempted login may include (1) an attempted password with one or more errors and (2) metadata. The system may assign a metadata risk score to the metadata, assign a password risk score to the attempted password, aggregate the scores, and grant or deny access to the user based on the aggregated score and a predetermined threshold.
