1. A user device comprising:
a user interface;
at least one memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a user through the user interface, a request for confidential access associated with the user;
receiving, through the user interface, a first group of inputs comprising a sequence of dummy inputs;
providing, through the user device, an indicator signal prompting the user to transition from inputting the sequence of dummy inputs to inputting an access sequence of inputs, the indicator signal being provided after a predetermined period of time has elapsed;
receiving, from the user device, a second group of inputs comprising the access sequence of inputs;
comparing the access sequence of inputs with a confidential access code;
when the access sequence of inputs matches the confidential access code, granting access to the user device; and
when the access sequence of inputs does not match the confidential access code, denying access to the user device.
