Password Alternatives Project

Passwords are like democracy -- the worst form of authentication, except for every other form of authentication that's been tried. My research group, starting in 2012 at UTA and continuing at RIT until 2021, used to work on studying something-you-know authentication and designing new password systems. The project was never externally funded, but we had some nice papers (CHIx2 including an Honorable Mention, IJHCS, ESORICS, SOUPSx2, and more). This page captures our efforts.
