Title
A Password Manager that Doesn't Remember Passwords
Abstract
The problems with passwords are well-known: secure passwords are difficult to remember, users have too many passwords, and users have difficulty matching their passwords to accounts. Password managers and cued graphical passwords are two password solutions that address the issues of memorability and keeping track of of passwords. We have developed Versipass, a password manager that incorporates key elements of password managers and cued graphical passwords to avoid existing problems of password memorability and associating passwords with accounts. Instead of remembering passwords, Versipass remembers image cues for graphical passwords. These cues help users to better remember their passwords and to more easily link passwords with accounts. Versipass also facilitates safe password reuse by allowing users to use the same image cue for multiple accounts.
