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 device finger print and a type of browser used to make the request;

identifying, at the online account server, two or more values of the intrinsic user data, by evaluating a presence or absence of data of a screen name or related screen name of the user; and

transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information, wherein the subset of options to reset the login information is selected by the online account server based on the identified two or more values of the intrinsic user data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from an 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 step of determining whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address and the step of comparing 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 the step of 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 , further wherein the intrinsic user data of the request is one or more of an IP address, a username, the 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 , wherein the step of identifying two or more values of the intrinsic user data further comprises evaluating at least two of a time of the request, a frequency of the request, the type of browser used to make the request, an age of account, one or more cookies, and the 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 device finger print and a type of browser used to make the request;

identifying, at the online account server, two or more values of the intrinsic user data, by evaluating a presence or absence of data of a screen name or related screen name of the user; and

transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information, wherein the subset of options to reset the login information is selected by the online account server based on the identified two or more values of the 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 an 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 step of determining whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address and the step of comparing 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 the step of 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 of the request is one or more of an IP address, a username, the 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 step of identifying two or more values of the intrinsic user data further comprises evaluating at least two of a time of the request, a frequency of the request, the type of browser used to make the request, an age of account, one or more cookies, and the 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 device finger print and a type of browser used to make the request;

identifying, at the online account server, two or more values of the intrinsic user data, by evaluating a presence or absence of data of a screen name or related screen name of the user; and

transmitting, over the network, a subset of options to reset the login information, wherein the subset of options to reset the login information is selected by the online account server based on the identified two or more values of the intrinsic user data.

14. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , further comprising:

determining whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from an 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 step of determining whether one or more unauthenticated reset requests have been received from the IP address and the step of comparing 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 the step of 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 of the request is one or more of an IP address, a username, the 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 step of identifying two or more values of the intrinsic user data further comprises evaluating at least two of a time of the request, a frequency of the request, the type of browser used to make the request, an age of account, one or more cookies, and the device finger print.
