Graphical passwords for Windows



Some researchers at Rutgers have come up with a solution to the "shoulder-surfing" problem. Their graphical passwords require users to choose in advance a set of "pass-icons" and when they log in to identify three of them on the screen. Rather than clicking on the icons themselves, though, the user has to click inside the triangle formed by the icons. Combined with multiple challenges, the researchers claim it's secure. You can download a demo implementation of graphical passwords or check out screenshots (click on Using the Simulation) at their site, or read more about the technique in The Rutgers Scholar.
