The program instructions receive the first portion, wherein the first portion includes a first number of keys selected equal to the first value and the second value present in the first number of keys selected. The program instructions generate a second virtual keypad for entry of a second portion, wherein the second portion includes a third and a fourth value. The program instructions receive the second portion, wherein the second portion includes a second number of keys selected equal to the third value and the fourth value present in the second number of keys selected. The program instructions determine to grant a user access to an account associated with the account password.
