 ABSTRACT

In an era where digital security is paramount, traditional text-based passwords are

increasingly vulnerable to breaches and unauthorized access. Graphical password
authentication, which leverages images and patterns instead of alphanumeric characters,
offers a promising alternative to enhance security and usability. This paper explores the
design, implementation, and evaluation of graphical password systems, highlighting their
strengths and weaknesses compared to conventional methods. We delve into various
graphical password schemes, such as click-based, image selection, and draw-a-secret (DAS),
analyzing their resistance to common attacks like shoulder surfing, guessing, and phishing.
Through user studies and empirical analysis, we assess the memorability, convenience, and
overall effectiveness of graphical passwords. Our findings indicate that while graphical
passwords can significantly improve security and user experience, they also present unique
challenges that must be addressed. This research contributes to the understanding of graphical
password systems and lays the groundwork for developing more secure and user-friendly
authentication mechanisms in the digital age.
