Changing keyboard layout automatically while entering a password

1. A method to automatically change a keyboard layout of a device while a user enters a password comprising:

obtaining an encoded sequence of keyboard layouts mapped to a corresponding sequence of characters of a user password; and

a) receiving input of a character of said user password;

b) determining whether said character input is correct, and

if said character entered is correct:

decoding said mapped keyboard layout sequence to obtain a correct keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered for said password; and

automatically displaying said correct keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered on said device; or

if said character entered is not correct:

decoding said mapped keyboard layout sequence to obtain one of: a correct or incorrect keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered for said password; and

automatically displaying said correct or incorrect keyboard layout on said device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said input character entered is said first character of said user password, said method further comprising:

repeating each of steps a)-b) until all successive characters of said user password are correctly entered.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein, prior to input of said first character of said user password, said user manually navigating to a correct keyboard layout associated for said first character input.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein, responsive to displaying said incorrect keyboard layout on said device, re-initiating, by the user, entry of the user password beginning from said first character.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein said encoded sequence of keyboard layouts mapped to a corresponding sequence of characters of a user password to be entered is represented as a character string.

6. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

storing said character string representation in a memory storage unit at said device in association with said user password.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

encoding said sequence of keyboard layouts by:

setting a user password by inputting to said device each successive character of said user password;

analyzing a keyboard layout associated with each character input;

determining, based on the analyzing, a keyboard layout to the character input; and

mapping a keyboard layout to a corresponding character of said character string representation.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

encrypting or obfuscating said stored character string representation prior to said storing.

9. A system to automatically change a keyboard layout of a device while a user enters a password comprising:

a memory storage device;

a hardware processor, coupled to the memory storage device, said processor configured to:

obtain an encoded sequence of keyboard layouts mapped to a corresponding sequence of characters of a user password; and

a) receive input of a character of said user password;

b) determine whether said character input is correct, and

if said character entered is correct:

decode said mapped keyboard layout sequence to obtain a correct keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered for said password; and

automatically display on said device said correct keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered; or

if said character entered is not correct:

decode said mapped keyboard layout sequence to obtain one of: a correct or incorrect keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered for said password; and

automatically display on said device said correct or incorrect keyboard layout.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein said input character entered is said first character of said user password, said hardware processor further configured to:

repeat each of steps a)-b) until all successive characters of said user password are correctly entered.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein, responsive to displaying said incorrect keyboard layout on said device, re-initiating, by the user, entry of the user password beginning from said first character.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein said hardware processor is configured to represent, as a character string, said encoded sequence of keyboard layouts mapped to a corresponding sequence of characters of the user password.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein said hardware processor is configured to:

store said character string representation in a memory storage unit at said device in association with said user password.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein said hardware processor is configured to encode said sequence of keyboard layouts by:

setting a user password by inputting to said device each successive character of said user password;

analyzing a keyboard layout associated with each character input;

determining, based on the analyzing, a keyboard layout to the character input; and

mapping a keyboard layout to a corresponding character of said character string representation.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein said hardware processor is configured to:

encrypt or obfuscate said stored character string representation prior to said storing.

16. A computer program product for automatically changing a keyboard layout of a device while a user enters a password, the computer program product comprising a tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions run by the processing circuit for performing a method, the method comprising:

obtaining an encoded sequence of keyboard layouts mapped to a corresponding sequence of characters of a user password; and

c) receiving input of a character of said user password;

d) determining whether said character input is correct, and

if said character entered is correct:

decoding said mapped keyboard layout sequence to obtain a correct keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered for said password; and

automatically displaying said correct keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered on said device; or

if said character entered is not correct:

decoding said mapped keyboard layout sequence to obtain one of: a correct or incorrect keyboard layout associated with a next character to be entered for said password; and

automatically displaying said correct or incorrect keyboard layout on said device.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein said input character entered is said first character of said user password, said method further comprising:

repeating each of steps a)-b) until all successive characters of said user password are correctly entered.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein said method further comprises:

storing said character string representation in a memory storage unit at said device in association with said user password.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein said method further comprises:

encoding said sequence of keyboard layouts by:

setting a user password by inputting to said device each successive character of said user password;

analyzing a keyboard layout associated with each character input;

determining, based on the analyzing, a keyboard layout to the character input; and

mapping a keyboard layout to a corresponding character of said character string representation.

20. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein said method further comprises:

encrypting or obfuscating said stored character string representation prior to said storing.
