Abstract
Systems and methods for changing a user password are described. In one embodiment, the method includes determining at least one password equivalent value, determining a safe-to-transmit password value, determining a password change authentication value, transmitting, from a remote device to a controller, the password change authentication value and the safe-to-transmit password value, confirming the data integrity of the password change authentication value sent from the remote device to the controller, and storing a new password equivalent value.

Password-protection module

TL;DR: In this article, a method of protecting a password being used to establish interaction between a user and an application includes detecting a request for the password from the application by receiving a notification from the user indicating the request, and combining the password with information identifying the application, so as to produce a protected password, and authenticating to the application using the protected password.
