1. A method for facilitating an account protection check for sets of credentials, the method comprising the steps of:
(A) providing at least one client account managed by at least one remote server, wherein the client account is associated with a corresponding personal computing (PC) device, and wherein a client event log for the client account is managed by the remote server;
(B) providing at least one user account managed by at least one third-party server, wherein the user account is associated with the corresponding PC device, and wherein the user account includes a credential set, and wherein the user account is associated to the client account, and wherein the credential set is either in an unlocked status or a locked status, and wherein user metadata for the user account is managed by the third-party server;
(C) prompting the client account to enter a credential input for the user account with the corresponding PC device;
(D) relaying the credential input and the user metadata from the corresponding PC device, through the third-party server, and to the remote server, if the credential input is entered by the client account;
(E) granting access to the user account with the third-party server, if the credential input does match the credential set, and if the user metadata does match the client event log, and if the credential set is in the unlocked status;
(F) denying access to the user account with the third-party server, if the credential input does not match the credential set or if the client metadata does match the client event log, and if the credential set is in the unlocked status; and
(G) invalidating access to the user account with the third-party server, if the credential input does match or does not match the credential set, and if the credential set is in the locked status.
