Abstract
User authentication is a process of authenticating a person to enter the system, and with the growing need for digitizing the data, user authentication plays a vital role in any system. Traditional authentication techniques such as alphanumeric passwords can have many drawbacks since they are easy to crack and are not easy to remember. Many earlier graphical password authentication techniques are also not very easy to remember since it involves memorizing many click points. We are proposing a new technique that uses stored images or fractals as graphical password, where the user has to remember a click point at a particular zoom level. This creates a story for the user as the user zooms in or zooms out to reach the password point which ultimately makes it easy for the user to remember the password. We have also implemented a demo system for fractal as well as stored images for the demonstration purposes.
