Journal ArticleDOI
Persuasive Cued Click-Points: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Knowledge-Based Authentication Mechanism
TL;DR: This paper uses persuasion to influence user choice in click-based graphical passwords, encouraging users to select more random, and hence more difficult to guess, click-points.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Improving text passwords through persuasion
