Graphical user authentication system (GUAS)

Nowadays, the most accepted computer authentication technique is to use alphanumerical usernames with text-based password. This method has been proven to have significant multiple weaknesses. For example, users tend to choose the passwords that can be easily cracked. On the other hand, if a password...
