ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling access to an interaction context of a multi-user application includes receiving and tracking over time login requests pertaining to one of a plurality of user accounts of a virtual application instance of the multi-user application, each login request including a login password and each user account including a user password. A login request for the user account is rejected when the login password fails to match the user password of the user account. Access to the user account is denied when a consecutive number of times a login request for the user account is rejected reaches a selected limit. The user is prompted to change the user password of the user account and given limited access to the user account to do so when the user password is a permanent password and a cumulative number of rejected login requests for the user account reaches a selected threshold.
