Systems and methods for managing resetting of user online identities or accounts

1. A computer-implemented method for managing resetting of user accounts, the method comprising:

receiving, over a network, a request to reset login information to access an online account of a user;

comparing, at an online account server, a time of the request to reset login information to a preset time or amount of time;

receiving, over the network, intrinsic user data associated with the request to reset login information, wherein the intrinsic user data includes a threshold amount of history for an IP address associated with the request;

evaluating, at the online account server, based on the intrinsic user data, whether a screen name associated with a related online account of the user is currently logged in from the IP address associated with the request; and

upon determining that the associated screen name is logged in, transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information based on the evaluated intrinsic user data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address associated with the request; and

determining whether the IP address associated with the request is not identified as being suspicious based on the determination of whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address and the comparison of the time the request to reset login information was received to the preset amount of time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the login information is at least one of a user identifier of the user or a password of the user.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein determining that the IP address associated with the request is not identified as being suspicious further comprises comparing the IP address to a database of IP addresses known to be associated with malicious or aberrant entities.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the intrinsic user data includes one or more of a username associated with the online account, a type of browser used to make the request, an age of the online account, and one or more cookies.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising evaluating, based on the intrinsic user data, at least two of a time of the request, a frequency of the request, a type of browser used to make the request, an age of account, one or more cookies, and a device finger print.

7. A system for managing resetting of online identities or accounts of users, the system including:

a data storage device storing instructions for managing resetting of online identities or accounts of users; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:

receiving, over a network, a request to reset login information to access an online account of a user;

comparing, at an online account server, a time of the request to reset login information to a preset time or amount of time;

receiving, over the network, intrinsic user data associated with the request to reset login information, wherein the intrinsic user data includes a threshold amount of history for an IP address associated with the request;

evaluating, at the online account server, based on the intrinsic user data, whether a screen name associated with a related online account of the user is currently logged in from the IP address associated with the request; and

upon determining that the associated screen name is logged in, transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information based on the evaluated intrinsic user data.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform the method including:

determining whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address associated with the request; and

determining whether the IP address associated with the request is not identified as being suspicious based on the determination of whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address and the comparison of the time the request to reset login information was received to the preset amount of time.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the login information is at least one of a user identifier of the user or a password of the user.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining that the IP address associated with the request is not identified as being suspicious further comprises comparing the IP address to a database of IP addresses known to be associated with malicious or aberrant entities.

11. The system of claim 7 , further wherein the intrinsic user data includes one or more of a username associated with the online account, a type of browser used to make the request, an age of the online account, and one or more cookies.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to perform the method including evaluating, based on the intrinsic user data, at least two of a time of the request, a frequency of the request, a type of browser used to make the request, an age of account, one or more cookies, and a device finger print.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method for managing resetting of online identities or accounts of users, the method including:

receiving, over a network, a request to reset login information to access an online account of a user;

comparing, at an online account server, a time of the request to reset login information to a preset time or amount of time;

receiving, over the network, intrinsic user data associated with the request to reset login information, wherein the intrinsic user data includes a threshold amount of history for an IP address associated with the request;

evaluating, at the online account server, based on the intrinsic user data, whether a screen name associated with a related online account of the user is currently logged in from the IP address associated with the request; and

upon determining that the associated screen name is logged in, transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information based on the evaluated intrinsic user data.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer system, further cause the computer system to perform the method including:

determining whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address associated with the request; and

determining whether the IP address associated with the request is not identified as being suspicious based on the determination of whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address and the comparison of the time the request to reset login information was received to the preset amount of time.

15. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the login information is at least one of a user identifier of the user or a password of the user.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein determining that the IP address associated with the request is not identified as being suspicious further comprises comparing the IP address to a database of IP addresses known to be associated with malicious or aberrant entities.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , further wherein the intrinsic user data includes one or more of a username, a type of browser used to make the request, an age of the online account, and one or more cookies.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer system, further cause the computer system to perform the method including evaluating, based on the intrinsic user data, at least two of a time of the request, a frequency of the request, a type of browser used to make the request, an age of account, one or more cookies, and a device finger print.
