Problem Statement
Graphical Password Authentication
Today, passwords are commonplace across all platforms and conceivably all websites. However, it can be tough to remember such complicated passwords, let alone for so many different websites. For this reason, you can create a project that shows a graphical password strategy. By doing so, the user will be able to create passwords in the form of graphical presentations that follow a specific pattern, which they may then use to log in to the system.

The solution requires the user to choose a set of images, such as various chocolates, in a predetermined pattern (for example dairy milk is followed by 5 stars which is in turn followed by KitKat and so on). The photos will be randomly swapped the next time the user tries to log in, but they will still need to use the same pattern.
Background of the Problem
Passwords are ubiquitous today on any platform, on possibly any website. But to remember so difficult passwords and that too on numerous websites seems daunting and therefore you can devise a project illustrating graphical password strategy. This will allow the user to set passwords in the form of graphical presentation in a certain pattern and later use that pattern to login o the system.
Objective
In this method, the user is required to select some images (let’s say different chocolates) in a specific pattern (for example dairy milk is followed by 5 stars which is in turn followed by KitKat and so on). Next time the user tries to log in, the images would have been shuffled, but the user will be required to follow the same pattern which was used initially. Every time the user will have to use the same sequence while the images are placed in different ways. This type of authentication is difficult to break since neither brute force nor dictionary attacks could breach it. We need techniques that can be easily implemented and provide better results to this process.
Summary
Remembering numerous passwords from various different sites can be difficult for a user. So to provide some flexibility we can provide users a graphical password authentication system where instead of creating a password a user has to select graphical objects in a particular order to keep it as their password.
