Abstract
A system for utilizing behavioral features to authenticate a user entering login credentials. The system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a request to access a user account and compare behavioral features included in the request to behavioral features included in a user behavior profile associated with the user account. The electronic processor is also configured to, based on the comparison, generate one or more scores. The electronic processor is further configured to, for each of the one or more scores, compare the score to a predetermined threshold and, based on the comparison of the score to the predetermined threshold, adjust a match value. The electronic processor is also configured to compare the match value to one or more predetermined thresholds to determine whether the behavioral features included in the request to access the user account authenticates the user, does not authenticate the user, or is inconclusive.
