Abstract: This system presents an innovative idea that integrates graphical passwords with sound signature. The system encourages the user to select click points from images as their passwords rather than textual words. According to human psychology, one can memorize the click points easily when compared to the textual passwords. The number of click points and the number of images included in the password creation depend upon the user’s choice. Apart from the click points, the system provides sound files that can be integrated to the user’s password. While logging in, the system verifies the click points as well as the sound file. Hence the system provides an efficient method to create more secured passwords which are easier to manage.
