Someone in Your Contact List: Cued Recall-Based Textual Passwords

Abstract

Someone in Your Contact List: Cued Recall-Based Textual Passwords project report on web mining remain the most commonly employed user authentication mechanism, and potentially will continue to be so for years to come. Despite the well-known security and usability issues concerning textual passwords, none of the numerous proposed authentication alternatives appear to have achieved a sufficient level of adoption to dominate in the foreseeable future.

Password hints, consisting of a user generated text saved at the account setup stage, are employed in several authentication systems to help users to recall forgotten passwords. However, users are often unable to create hints that jog the memory without revealing too much information regarding the passwords themselves.

Conclusion

Someone in Your Contact List: Cued Recall-Based Textual Passwords project report on web mining This paper has presented S`YNTHIMA, a mechanism that applies cued recall to textual passwords. We have explored the effects of applying S`YNTHIMA on minimizing the number of invalid login attempts, and improving memory recall for textual passwords.

After conducting a user study that compared the ability of users to recall their passwords under two conditions (with and without S`YNTHIMA enabled), our preliminary findings demonstrate that the application of S`YNTHIMA decreased the number of failed login attempts and improved the password recall rate.
