Abstract

Computer-implemented methods, software, and computer systems for authenticating a user. Authentication includes presenting on a first user interface a challenge set of cognitive information elements (400) to the user that comprises a cognitive challenge that has a reference solution based on an intersection of the challenge set of cognitive information elements and a secret set of cognitive information elements. Biometric features of the user can be extracted from a response made by the user to the cognitive challenge on a second user interface, and the user can be authenticated if the biometric feature extracted from the response matches a reference biometric feature.
