In an approach to securing data using alternative value identification schemes, one or more computer processors receive user registration data, wherein the user registration data includes one or more authentication parameters, wherein the one or more authentication parameters includes one or more physical pressure-based inputs by a user. The one or more computer processors receive an access request requiring an authentication from the user, wherein the access request includes the one or more physical pressure-based inputs by the user associated with the one or more authentication parameters. The one or more computer processors determine whether the one or more authentication parameters match the user registration data. Responsive to determining that the authentication data matches the registration data, the one or more computer processors authenticate access for the user.
