Child-Friendly Authentication (CFA)
TLDR
A child-friendly authentication system that uses graphic images is an excellent solution to avoid potential electronic risks to children from attackers and the challenges the authors may encounter while applying this technique, and how to avoid them.
No passwords needed: the iterative design of a parent-child authentication mechanism
TLDR
A parent-child authentication mechanism based on OpenID and FIDO U2F which allows children to log in to websites without requiring a password and enables parents using their mobile device to remotely determine whether a login request should be granted.
TrimT: A Graphical Password Authentication Scheme
TLDR
After reviewing some of the existing graphical password methods, the outcome of the review indicated that login time of most of the graphical passwords methods is high.
Study on Recognition based Graphical Password Techniques
TLDR
This paper investigates and analyzes the graphical password scheme, relying on recognition, and includes a comparative description of the chosen recognition-based graphical passwords scheme.
Children's Text Password Behaviors and Parental Advice
TLDR
Children between ages 11 to 13 create simple passwords but believe that these passwords are hard for a stranger to guess, but parents who are more aware of security-related cues are more likely to create secure passwords and teach their children to do the same.
Principles for Designing Authentication Mechanisms for Young Children: Lessons Learned from KidzPass
TLDR
KidzPass is proposed and study, a configurable graphical authentication framework that one can use to tailor these mechanisms for children of different ages and found that that generic images can indeed be viable if they display particular qualities, which are enumerate.
KidzPass: authenticating pre-literate children
TLDR
Here, the development and evaluation of two versions of KidzPass are reported on, a graphical authentication mechanism that specifically relies on the abilities 3-5 year old children can be expected to possess and lessons learned about designing authentication for this target user group.
Smart Android Graphical Password Strategy: A Review
TLDR
This paper aims to review recent published papers on android smart phone graphical password and identify used techniques, and analyzes results to give better understanding for users of such devices to protect their devices from unauthorized access and attacks.
The Effectiveness of Applying Different Strategies on Recognition and Recall Textual Password
TLDR
A study to compare self-selection of the system-generated words for recognition and self generated words for recall for nouns and mixture words found that the recognition and recall of mixed word passwords had a higher memorability rate than nouns.
Using Personal Data to Support Authentication: User Attitudes and Suitability
TLDR
It is found that participants were generally uncomfortable with personal data being used for authentication and, knowing their personal data is used, they may intentionally change their behaviour due to privacy concerns.

Click to Enter: Comparing Graphical and Textual Passwords for Children
TLDR
Preliminary results showed that graphical passwords had a lower success rate and participants were less likely to access their accounts when using graphical passwords.
Designing textual password systems for children
TLDR
Two studies that looked at passwords for children show that children have some understanding of how to make a good textual password but that the passwords they use are often in contradiction to their own knowledge of best practice.
The Design and Analysis of Graphical Passwords
TLDR
This work proposes and evaluates new graphical password schemes that exploit features of graphical input displays to achieve better security than text-based passwords and describes the prototype implementation of one of the schemes on a personal digital assistants (PDAs) namely the Palm PilotTM.
A second look at the usability of click-based graphical passwords
TLDR
Significant differences in the usability results of the two studies are found, providing empirical evidence that relying solely on lab studies for security interfaces can be problematic and whether more memorable passwords are necessarily weaker in terms of security.
PassPoints: Design and longitudinal evaluation of a graphical password system
Graphical passwords: Learning from the first twelve years
TLDR
This article first catalogues existing approaches, highlighting novel features of selected schemes and identifying key usability or security advantages, and reviews usability requirements for knowledge-based authentication as they apply to graphical passwords.
Graphical Password Authentication Using Cued Click Points
TLDR
This work proposes and examines the usability and security of Cued Click Points (CCP), a cued-recall graphical password technique, and suggests that CCP provides greater security than PassPoints because the number of images increases the workload for attackers.
Graphical Password Authentication Using Cued Click Points
TLDR
An initial user study revealed that users preferred CCP to Pass Points, saying they thought that selecting and remembering only one point per image was easier, and that seeing each image triggered their memory of where the corresponding point was located.
Do you see your password?: applying recognition to textual passwords
TLDR
This paper reports on a study that sought to address this confound by exploring the recognition of text as a novel means of authentication by finding no significant difference in memorability between text recognition and text recall conditions.
Password input interface suitable for primary school children
TLDR
A new password input interface was designed using icons with symbols familiar to primary school children, and then the system was evaluated by varying parameters such as numbers of icons and icon selection time and frequency.
