Abstract

Most of the authentication system available now is more focus on normal user. But there are some drawbacks if the targeted users were visually impaired or blind. For example, the on-screen keyboard is very difficult to use by visually impaired or blind people. The BlindLogin V2 authentication system is invented to improve the authentication process faced by the people having visual impairment by making it more user-friendly. BlindLogin V2 is a graphical-based authentication application where the password is easier to remember because it applies graphical password properties for the blind and visually impaired. The paper is going to compare two different version of BlindLogin method system in term of creation time, creation attempts, entry time, re-entry time, re-entry attempts, login success rate/failure rate and errors per attempts. The result carried out from this project prove that the proposed system is capable to help the visually impaired or blind people to login in a shorter time compare with traditional text-based authentication system.
