my Abstract -Traditional authentication technique generally requires an id and password to verify the identity of user. By nature, user is looking for a password that is easy to remember and secured from any attack. However, remembering many complicated passwords, especially when user has different accounts, is not an easy task. Moreover, Traditional technique is still vulnerable to attack such as hidden camera. To overcome these drawbacks, we propose a new password authentication technique called On-Keyboard Password (AOKP). The experiment results show that 40% of the spies succeed to catch the password shape but all of them fail to detect the number of the strokes. Therefore, the proposed technique provides more secure and memorable authentication method through changing password from text to mix shape and number of strokes. In addition, it has high level of scalability and simplicity though the freedom of writing the password anywhere on keyboard, password length and language independent. overcome these drawbacks, we propose a novel alternative password authentication technique called On­ Keyboard Password. In this technique, the password is about any connected shape drawn using keyboard's keys mixed with the number of strokes on each key accordingly. To recall this password, it is required to map the same password anywhere on the keyboard using the same number of strokes on each key. This technique is proposed to improve the security of user authentication through changing password from text to mix shape and number of strokes. In addition, Anywhere On-Keyboard Password has high level of scalability and simplicity though the freedom of writing the password at any location on keyboard, password's length and its ASCII independent. To prove this technique'S features usability evaluation have been done through a laboratory experiment design. In addition, a system has been developed to help users to enter their password and apply the technique concept through the keyboard device.
