Abstract

Aspects described herein may allow for authenticating a user by generating a customized set of authentication questions based on patterns that are automatically detected and extracted from user data. The user data may include transaction data collected over a period of time. By automatically detecting user patterns that correspond to user behavior over a period of time, an authentication system may be able to generate information that is recognizable to an authentic user but difficult to guess or circumvent for any other user.
