Educating Users to Generate Secure Graphical Password Secrets: An Initial Study

The username/password combination is still the most widely used method albeit various user authentication techniques have been introduced. Numerous studies have been conducted to investigate the scheme and it could be summarized that despite it weaknesses, it is the most favourable scheme. Thus, to...
