Ms. Shilpa Veerasekaran, Prof. Alka Khade, Prof. V.B Gaikwad


Knowledge based authentication mechanisms have several problems that are well known. The knowledge based authentication mechanisms include several techniques like text passwords, biometric passwords and graphical passwords. Users often tend to choose passwords which are easy to remember. Using easier passwords allows hackers to easily crack the passwords using various hacking techniques. Unfortunately, the use of text based passwords can be very difficult, if users select different passwords for better security. In such a situation remembering different passwords will be a difficult task in itself. Graphical Passwords is a widely used reliable authentication mechanism. Traditional authentication mechanisms are prone to hacking. We propose a methodology where users are given a choice to select a stronger password using Persuasive Cued Click Points.
