Abstract: Authentication deals with determining whom you are communicating with before revealing sensitive data. One of the most important and widely used schemes in this group is graphical password authentication. Like text-based passwords, these are knowledge-based authentication techniques and are advantageous in effecting human memory using visual information. YAGP ? Yet another Graphical Password is one such recall based technique. In this paper, the author presents a user study of YAGP and comments on the findings of the study.
