Abstract
A password manager may receive a password, and a false password generator may generate at least one false password, based on the password. A false password selector may store the at least one false password together with the password. A password handler may receive a login attempt that includes the at least one false password, and an attack detector may determine that the login attempt is potentially unauthorized, based on the receipt of the at least one false password.
