Authentication Based on Image Password

Abstract

Abstract: In the modern day, graphical password authentication that relies on memory or recognition is a different and still developing sort of authentication. The user copies the picture or is able to identify the image that was used or made during the registration process. Only authorised users are able to access resources and information thanks to passwords. The newest fashion is graphic passwords, which appear to be a highly promising authentication technique. It is available as a substitute for text passwords. The most popular method is using usernames and passwords that are alphanumeric. While this method has certain benefits over plain text passwords, it also has some drawbacks. Users strive to memorise short, strong passwords that can be broken when using alphanumeric passwords, but doing so becomes cumbersome. Users that use graphical passwords save a picture or certain areas of an image as their password. Biometrics is now the most sophisticated and secure form of authentication, yet it is too costly for widespread usage. Graphical passwords are a fantastic alternative authentication mechanism since they are less expensive, more secure, and simpler for everyone to use. [1]
