One-Time Passwords Using Image-Based Authentication

Poor password practices by users and weak authentication standards on websites threaten security for online organizations. Websites and online businesses need strong authentication that is easy for users, but very difficult for attackers to compromise.

Confident ImageShield™ allows websites to replace static, text passwords with an intuitive and highly secure, image-based login. It provides strong authentication by creating a one-time password or PIN for each session.

How it works:

1. The first time a user registers with a website or application, they select a few categories they can easily remember – such as dogs, flowers and clocks. There is no need to create a text password. 

2. Each time authentication is required the user is presented with a randomly-generated grid of images – the Confident ImageShield.

3. The user identifies which images fit their previously-chosen categories by clicking on the appropriate pictures or typing  the corresponding letter to form a one-time password.

More Secure, Easier to Use

The specific pictures that appear on the grid and their alphanumeric characters are different each time. In this way, Confident ImageShield forms a unique password for each login session. Yet the user only needs to remember a few categories. Seeing the images displayed on the Confident ImageShield help trigger the user’s memory of which categories they originally chose. This is called guided recall.

One-time passwords for authentication provide much stronger security than a static, text password of the user’s choice. There is no risk of the user choosing a weak password or using the same password on another website. Even if the user has keystroke-logging malware installed on their machine, an attacker will not be able to learn the user’s password or use it in the future, because the password is different each time.
