Abstract:
Access to computer systems is most often based on the use of alphanumeric passwords. However, users have difficulty remembering a password that is long and random-appearing. Instead, they create short, simple, and insecure passwords. Today, most Internet applications still establish user authentication with traditional text depended passwords. From the long time there is research to design a secure and user-friendly password method for the security reasons. On the other hand, there are password manager programs which facilitate generating site-specific strong passwords from a single user password to eliminate the memory burden due to more than one password. On the other hand, there are studies exploring the operability of graphical passwords as a more secure and good user-friendly alternative. Image Code Password has been designed to try to make passwords more memorable and easier for people to use and, therefore, more secure. Using an image code as password, users selects on image code rather than type alphanumeric characters.
