We present a android application for enhanced security of password recovery questions.We make use of the sensors available in an basic andorid smartphone to provide security.Many web applications as well as android applications use old and easy to break through questions for password retrieval which can be easily guessed by anyone having zero to very little information about the user.Our system is based on users short term memory.We make use of smartphone sensors and ask questions which are only known to user relying on his short term memory for password retrieval.We present sensor based security questions for password retreival which ultimately increase the security and provide genuine authentication.
