Unlocking the Future: Graphical Passwords with Flask Framework

The use of graphical passwords has become increasingly popular due to their potential to offer better usability and security compared to traditional text-based passwords. In this research paper, a web-based graphical password authentication system was presented and developed using Flask, a popular Python web framework. The major issues (i.e., attacks) that might have occurred while using graphical passwords were shoulder surfing, smudge attacks, keyloggers, and password guessing. A different approach was used to tackle these types of attacks and improve the security of the system. The system employed a novel approach for creating and verifying graphical passwords based on the use of images of users’ choice and click patterns. Our experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed system in terms of usability and security.
