Abstract
Apparatus which control modification of passwords by implementing a procedure by which end user designates, in advance, a universe of social media contacts such as friends on social media web sites such as Facebook and Linkedln. Contacts so identified are used as a set of potential identity verifiers. In order to enable a reset or modification of an account password, a subset of the universe is required to assert that they have verified the identity of the user requesting to reset a password. Such verification can be accomplished by varying means by those to whom an inquiry has been directed. Te apparatus may be in the form of a computer system or a computer readable storage medium.
