Differentially Private Password Frequency Lists (2016, neutral): “Passwords are the dominant method of authentication on the internet, and, despite many attempts to replace them [21], [8], [2], they are likely to remain entrenched as the dominant means of authentication [19].”
Guessing human-chosen secrets (2012, background): “In surveying replacement proposals we find little evidence for any scheme replacing text passwords in the near future, a conclusion reached by several surveys of replacement schemes [227, 249, 45] and essays by senior researchers in the field [114, 143, 142].”
The Quest to Replace Passwords: A Framework for Comparative Evaluation of Web Authentication Schemes (2012, background): “Over forty years of research have demonstrated that passwords are plagued by security problems [2] and openly hated by users [3].”
Honeywords: making password-cracking detectable (2013, background): “[21] C. Herley and P. Van Oorschot.”
A Study of Probabilistic Password Models (2014, background): “With these advantages, passwordbased authentication is likely to stay as an important part of security for the foreseeable future [14].”
How Does Your Password Measure Up? The Effect of Strength Meters on Password Creation (2012, background): “While the premature obituary of passwords has been written time and again [22, 25], text passwords remain ubiquitous [15].”
Two Birds with One Stone: Two-Factor Authentication with Security Beyond Conventional Bound (2018, methodology): “Among the numerous methods for user authentication, password authentication is the most widely used and acceptable mechanism because of its easy-operation, scalability, compatibility and low-cost advantages [3], [4].”
Fast, Lean, and Accurate: Modeling Password Guessability Using Neural Networks (2016, background): “Text passwords are currently the most common form of authentication, and they promise to continue to be so for the foreseeable future [53].”
