Abstract:
Systems and methods for monitoring data input are disclosed. A dataset entered into a non-password field is received. Based on the dataset meeting one or more criteria for a likely password, a determination as to whether the dataset is inadvertently entered into the non-password field is made. Based on determining that the dataset is inadvertently entered into the non-password field, further processing of the dataset is inhibited.
