Methods and processes for utilizing information collected for enhanced verification

1. A method for verifying the identity of a user, comprising:

receiving information associated with an account of the user,

generating an initial profile for the user,

receiving an indication that the account is accessed by an accessor,

receiving, from a source, identity data comprising a plurality of data subsets associated with the accessor,

storing the data subsets in respective clusters, wherein the clusters are nonlinear artificial neural network computational elements;

analyzing the stored data subsets;

outputting, to node instances, results of the analyzing as cluster outputs, wherein the node instances are nonlinear artificial neural network computation elements based on a set of the clusters;

weighting the cluster outputs by the node instances;

generating a profile for the accessor based on the received identity data and the weighted cluster outputs; and

determining a likelihood factor that the accessor is the user, based on a comparison of the user profile and the accessor profile.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

collecting identity data by the source device from the accessor through sensors; and

receiving the identity data from the source device.

accessor data comprising at least one of username, password, typing pattern, typing cadence, typing error rate, mouse movement, mouse scrolling rate, mouse clicking rate, mouse clicking error rate, frequency of mouse use, finger pressure, finger error rate, biometrics, or reading rate; and

source data comprising at least one of software version, browser type, or connection speed.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising verifying that the accessor is the user if the likelihood factor is above a threshold.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising modifying the user profile with data from the accessor profile if the accessor is verified as the user.

10. The method of claim 1 , comprising storing the user profile in an account provider database.
