Visual Passwords

Posted by Dave Rosen February 27, 2006

Do you hate remembering passwords? With Passclicks novel approach you simply create a sequence of clicks on an image. The system records your mouse coordinates and logging in is a just matter of clicking your sequence.

There are issues of speed, similarity and how would you share your password if you needed too?

There’s also the no-password approach. Cryptic URLs allow customers to use applications such as Goovite by going to a unique link.

Or the other extreme is Gmail’s password strength rating system. You MUST create a ‘strong’ password. Guess ‘batman’ is too weak but ‘skeletor’ is OK.

It’s refreshing to see innovation attempting to tackle myriad years of frivolous passwords. Here’s hoping someone cracks it.
