Design and evaluation of a shoulder-surfing resistant graphical password scheme (2006, background): “…identical passwords on multiple systems, and propensity to write down passwords and store them insecurely, e.g., a text file containing the user’s passwords stored on insecure computers or PDAs, Post-Its notes stuck on or near the computer monitor or inside a desk drawer [1, 3, 10, 11, 13, 14].”
Guessing human-chosen secrets (2012, unknown): “I was also fortunate to be able to collaborate remotely with Cormac Herley and Paul van Oorschot, senior researchers who always treated me as an equal.”
A comparison of perceived and real shoulder-surfing risks between alphanumeric and graphical passwords (2006, background): “These strategies include writing down the passwords [1], reusing the same username/password combination across systems [16], or having to reset their passwords when they inevitably cannot remember them.”
Password management strategies for online accounts (2006, background): “Altogether, these issues and the proliferation of website logins aggravate the password management problem, particularly encouraging password reuse [2, 11].”
An Empirical Assessment of Factors Impeding Effective Password Management (2008, background): “…and enhance password memorability (Vu et al, 2007); Ives, Walsh and Schneider gave recommendations on how to improve authentication systems (Ives et al, 2007); and Furnell, in a study on website password practices, suggests that more should be done to advise and support users in order to…”
PassPoints: Design and longitudinal evaluation of a graphical password system (2005, background): “In the case of multiple systems, users may decide to use one password for all systems, reducing security and putting the password owner at risk of widespread damage if the password file of one of the systems is breached (Ives et al., 2004).”
