About Password Sentry
Password Sentry (PS) is a website password protection enterprise software application that monitors logins to detect and block password sharing. PS employs cutting edge technology to block dictionary and brute force attacks: stop hackers from guessing passwords. Password Sentry is NOT an IP counter application. Password Sentry counts unique logins using geographical metrics. PS analyzes logins using PS::GeoTracking technology. Each user is geographically profiled. Their exact location is derived from their IP address: City, Region, Country, and Coordinates (Latitude and Longitude). User logins are then mapped, and the distance between logins analyzed for any given user. If a login is mapped outside the acceptable radius threshold (measured in miles, and defined via Control Panel Preferences), the user is suspended. This algorithm ensures that false positives and false negatives are negligible.
