Abstract

This paper presents the concept of persuasive (graphical) cued click points (PCCP), and discusses their usability and evolution. A local survey regarding the largest issue in security was conducted with developers of various applications. This paper also describes the disadvantages of PCCP for desktop-based applications. The system proposed in this paper is different from PCCP in terms of usability and security. PCCP is a web-based system that does not provide the functionality required by desktop-based applications. To this end, this paper provides the concept of text-based password with PCCP that can be used to protect such applications.
