This document summarizes research on graphical password authentication techniques. It begins by discussing weaknesses in traditional text-based passwords, such as being easily guessed. It then discusses how graphical passwords that use images aim to address these weaknesses by being more memorable and having a larger password space. The document conducts a comprehensive survey of existing graphical password techniques, classifying them into recognition-based and recall-based approaches. It also discusses major design and implementation considerations and aims to answer whether graphical passwords are as secure as text passwords.
