Abstract
An information processing apparatus determines whether a device accesses a box region of the information processing apparatus. When it is determined that the box region is accessed, a box ID entry screen is displayed on the device. The information processing apparatus determines whether a box ID is entered by a user of the device. If it is determined that a box ID is entered, then device information about the device is obtained. After the device information is obtained, the information processing apparatus determines whether the device possesses a hardware keyboard. If it is determined that the device possesses a hardware keyboard, a password authentication screen is displayed on the device. If it is determined that the device does not possess a hardware keyboard, an image authentication screen is displayed on the device.
