This paper proposes a new password generation technique on the basis of mouse motion and a special case location recognized by the number of clicks to protect sensitive data for different companies. Two, three special locations click points for the users has been proposed to increase password complexity. Unlike other currently available random password generators, the path and number of clicks will be added by admin, and authorized users have to be training on it. This method aims to increase combinations for the graphical password generation using mouse motion for a limited number of users. A mathematical model is developed to calculate the performance of the password. The proposed technique in this paper allows the user to keep the ease-of-use in the mouse motion, while minimizing the risk of password guessing. A comparative evaluation has been conducted against a traditional password. The results show that the proposed approach improves the complexity 200% for fix position technique and two variants technique but more than 200% for three variants technique.
