Abstract

Honeywords are a relatively new approach to enhancing password security by creating decoy passwords that are designed to confuse and deter attackers. The idea is to create multiple decoy passwords, or honeywords, for each real password, and store them in a secure database alongside the actual passwords. To enhance password security, honeywords can be used to create fake passwords to confuse attackers. Multiple fake passwords for each real password are stored in a secure database. When a user logs in, the system checks the entered password to determine if it's a fake one or the real password. If a fake password is used, the system can trigger an alarm or take other steps to stop the attacker. It's important to carefully consider the number and standards for generating honeywords, and to ensure that the system doesn't interfere with legitimate user activity. Honeywords can add another layer of protection, but they should be used along with other security measures
