Abstract
Providing access to electronic information. A first password string associated with a user is received. A second password string associated with the user and a rule for configuring and generating a third password string from the second password string is retrieved from a database. The rule specifies a dynamic element to insert in the second password string based on first contextual information associated with the user. The value of the specified dynamic element is determined based on second contextual information associated with the user. Based on the rule, the third password string is configured and generated from the second password string. It is determined that the first password string matches the third password string. Access to the electronic information is granted.
