<p>A password interface application (1) presents successive arrays of images or other sensory cues (4) for display or playback on a client device. A user selects, or simply recognizes, one object from each of the successively presented arrays, wherein after recognizing the object subsequent arrays are presented for defining a complete password. Unlike image based authentication systems in which a graphic method merely replaces original username/password pair authentication, a client system is used which helps a user to recall a forgotten password without requiring modification to server software, such as a secure web server (3). Thus existing ATMs (2), online or telephone banking services, and the like, can function as is. The system provides enhanced security because, although people can possibly eavesdrop on the images or sensory cues selected, they cannot see into the user's mind to comprehend the password that the user recognizes.</p> |
