| Summary: | Security is one of the major issues in the existing era of modern communication system where the user base
has exponentially increased. Currently, majority of the commercial services have switched to internet based
services from its conventional pattern for better reachability to end-users. For the purpose of accessing the
resources, the user needs to be authenticated and authorized. All the existing web-services are using
password based authentication system which has some of the potential loopholes in term of security. This
paper basically discusses about the conventional password based authentication schemes and problems
associated with it along with discussion on potential perspective of Two-Factor authentication mechanism.
The paper has highlighted some of the facts which exhibits that Two-factor authentication system is also
shrouded by potential security threats that calls for redefining of security schemes. Finally, the paper
contributes in highlighting the open issues associated with the topic.
