Abstract
Password security has emerged as a promising field in the Computer science and technology. The innovative strategies are found to be costly and also require expertise to use them. The widely used methods of password security are pass-faces and biometrics password authentication schemes. Though they serve their purpose but are found to be cost ineffective.This paper looks at the new concepts of password security based on text-based authentication, ensuring the security from dictionary attacks. It is based on the principle of conversion of the characters of password in some control points, an unrecognizable form for intruders.
