Pass Fail

This article reviews different research works undertaken to construct user-friendly passwords for websites, which in turn result in smooth user transaction. Ryu and Moshfeghian have reviewed 96 websites within 16 categories, and then have narrowed their study to the top six sites within the dating and travel categories, as selected by Google. The findings are useful to users who type a password into a website and to the companies that want to offer smooth user transaction. The study shows that an effective password registration may produce a higher number of successfully registered accounts, which can translate to increased sales, brand status, and recognition. Some websites call upon picture identification for partial authentication along with the password. However, fancier password recognition software applications that would recognize faces or fingerprints or verbal inflection are further down the line.
