Abstract
A mechanism is provided for enhancing security access to a data processing system. Responsive to authenticating a first factor of the multi-factor authentication by matching a scanned fingerprint/thumbprint of a user to at least one previously scanned fingerprint/thumbprint in a set of previously scanned fingerprints/thumbprints, a determination is made as to whether a touch pressure level exerted by the user on a touch pressure sensor associated with the data processing system matches at least one previously stored touch pressure level in a set of previously stored touch pressure levels. Responsive to matching the touch pressure level exerted by the user to a previously stored touch pressure level in the set of previously stored touch pressure levels, a second factor of the multi-factor authentication is authenticated. Access is then granted for the user to the data processing system.
