A simple password less authentication system for web sites

Abstract

Many web sites have features that are only accessible after registering a user account on them. These sites include forums, on-line games, corporate Intranets and many on-line shops. The sites are typically secured through a system whereby a user chooses both a unique user name and a password that will be used to authenticate them. An alternative system proposed here is more convenient for users, and in many cases more secure by removing the requirement for the user to choose or remember a password. © 2010 IEEE.
