Abstract

Text passwords have long been the most popular user authentication method, with a huge number of Internet services using them. Users are faced with the almost insurmountable difficulty of generating and managing a huge number of site-unique and strong (i.e., non-guessable) passwords if they follow suggested practice. A password generator, i.e., a client-side technique that generates (and regenerates) site-specific strong passwords on demand with minimal user input, is one solution to handle this problem. Safe Vault, a password generating scheme previously defined as part of a wider review of such schemes, is detailed specified and analyzed in this work. Safe Vault was created to address flaws that had previously been recognized in password generators, and it uses unique approaches to do so. Safe Vault allows you to create passwords that meet critical real-world needs, such as required password updates, pre-specified passwords, and passwords that meet site-specific requirements.
