Abstract

At present 40% of the world population use internet daily. The percentage keeps on increasing day by day. According to the Alexa ranking, Google.com, youtube.com, facebook.com, Baidu.com, Yahoo.com, and Wikipedia.org are the widely used websites and search engines today. Moreover, there are uncountable number of active accounts existing in the internet. At times, apart from personal details of users, those accounts also include sensitive data. Several policies of creating passwords such are using number of digits, using symbols, using upper case letters and lower case and need to update passwords within several period of time are in use throughout the world. The main objective of this is to prevent and minimize the chances of attacks such as Hacking, Hijacks, Trojans and Key loggers. Nevertheless, there are high risks of account passwords being hacked and gaining unauthorized access to accounts due to some practices of users which include saving passwords on the browsers and using very simple and guessable passwords. Most of the time users tend for these practices due to the difficulty in remembering complex passwords and unwillingness to type passwords over and over again. This issue could be addressed through high security password encryption and decryption software and developing high security Password Saver Software (All in one Password)
