Abstract

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for performing a validation of authentication credentials from a user. The method includes one or more processors receiving authentication credentials input in an authentication session, the authentication credentials including a username and a password. The method further includes one or more processors generating a hash of the password of the received authentication credentials. In response to determining that the received authentication credentials are not valid, the method further includes one or more processors determining whether the generated hash of the password matches a stored hash associated with the username of the received authentication credentials.
