Graphical passwords have been demonstrated to be the possible alternatives to traditional alphanumeric passwords. However, they still tend to follow predictable patterns that are easier to attack. The crux of the problem is users memory limitations. Users are the weakest link in password authentication mechanism. It shows that baroque music has positive effects on human memorizing and learning. We introduce baroque music to the PassPoints graphical password scheme and conduct a laboratory study in this paper. Results shown that there is no statistic difference between the music group and the control group without music in short-term recall experiments, both had high recall success rates. But in long-term recall, the music group performed significantly better. We also found that the music group tended to set significantly more complicated passwords, which are usually more resistant to dictionary and other guess attacks. But compared with the control group, the music group took more time to log in both in short-term and long-term tests. Besides, it appears that background music does not work in terms of hotspots.

Password managers (PMs) are considered highly effective tools for increasing security, and a recent study by Pearman et al. (SOUPS19) highlighted the motivations and barriers to adopting PMs. We expand these findings by replicating Pearman et al.s pr otocol and interview instrument applied to a sample of strictly older adults (>60 years of age), as the prior work focused on a predominantly younger cohort. We conducted n=26 semi-structured interviews with PM users, built-in browser/operating system PM users, and non-PM users. The average participant age was 70.4 years. Using the same codebook from Pearman et al., we showcase differences and similarities in PM adoption between the samples, including fears of a single point of failure and the importance of having control over ones private information. Meanwhile, older adults were found to have higher mistrust of cloud storage of passwords and cross-device synchronization. We also highlight PM adoption motivators for older adults, including the power of recommendations from family members and the importance of education and outreach to improve familiarity.
Text-based password schemes have inherent security and usability problems, leading to the development of graphical password schemes. However, most of these alternate schemes are vulnerable to spyware attacks. We propose a new scheme, using CAPTCHA (C ompletely Automated Public Turing tests to tell Computers and Humans Apart) that retaining the advantages of graphical password schemes, while simultaneously raising the cost of adversaries by orders of magnitude. Furthermore, some primary experiments are conducted and the results indicate that the usability should be improved in the future work.
Shoulder-surfing is a known risk where an attacker can capture a password by direct observation or by recording the authentication session. Due to the visual interface, this problem has become exacerbated in graphical passwords. There have been some graphical schemes resistant or immune to shoulder-surfing, but they have significant usability drawbacks, usually in the time and effort to log in. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a new shoulder-surfing resistant scheme which has a desirable usability for PDAs. Our inspiration comes from the drawing input method in DAS and the association mnemonics in Story for sequence retrieval. The new scheme requires users to draw a curve across their password images orderly rather than click directly on them. The drawing input trick along with the complementary measures, such as erasing the drawing trace, displaying degraded images, and starting and ending with randomly designated images provide a good resistance to shouldersurfing. A preliminary user study showed that users were able to enter their passwords accurately and to remember them over time.

The major problem of user registration, mostly text base password, is well known. In the login user be inclined to select simple passwords which is frequently in mind that are straightforward for attackers to guess, difficult machine created password mostly complicated to user take in mind. User authenticate password using cued click points and Persuasive Cued Click Points graphical password scheme which includes usability and security evaluations. This paper includes the persuasion to secure user authentication & graphical password using cued click-points so that users select more random or more difficult to guess the passwords. In click-based graphical passwords, image or video frame that provide database to load the image, and then store all information into database. Mainly passwords are composed of strings which have letters as well as digits. Example is alpha-numeric type letters and digits.
The purpose of this study was to measure whether participant education, profession, and technical skill level exhibited a relationship with identification of password strength. Participants reviewed 50 passwords and labeled each as weak or strong. A Chi-square test of independence was used to measure relationships between education, profession, technical skill level relative to the frequency of weak and strong password identification. The results demonstrate significant relationships across all variable combinations except for technical skill and strong passwords which demonstrated no relationship. This research has three limitations. Data collection was dependent upon participant self-reporting and has limited externalized power. Further, the instrument was constructed under the assumption that all participants could read English and understood the concept of password strength. Finally, we did not control for external tool use (i.e., password strength meter). The results build upon existing literature insofar as the outcomes add to the collective understanding of user perception of passwords in specific and authentication in general. Whereas prior research has explored similar areas, such work has done so by having participants create passwords. This work measures perception of pre-generated passwords. The results demonstrate a need for further investigation into why users continue to rely on weak passwords. The originality of this work rests in soliciting a broad spectrum of participants and measuring potential correlations between participant education, profession, and technical skill level.
