Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to an automated account restoration system. In some embodiments, the system determines a state of an account based on a likelihood that the account has been compromised. If the account is determined to be in a low-risk state, then upon an successful login to that account, a verification cookie may be generated which is unique to a user device used to access the account. If the account is determined to be in a high-risk state, then system may prevent access to the account except by user devices that include a valid verification cookie.
