Abstract [eng] Although most widely used authentication involves characters as passwords, but secure text-based passwords are complex and difficult to remember. Users want to have easy to remember passwords, but these are vulnerable to various kinds of attacks and are predictable. To address these problems, graphical passwords that involve selection of images and drawing lines have been proposed. The encoded images support creation of secure passwords and facilitate their memorability. Thus, they are considered as an alternative to strengthen password security while preserving usability because secure textual passwords become more complicated to use. The research addresses the issue of improving the user experiences during graphical authentication. This paper examines cued recall-based, pure recall-based and recognition-based approaches. The proposed scheme is based on recognition-based scheme that is selected as the least vulnerable to various attacks. The solution is currently under development, two qualitative usability testing sessions are performed and the participants’ feedback is discussed.
