The Decoy Effect for Passwords – A First Exploration
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on an online survey eliciting effects of a decoy choice architecture for passwords. The survey measured preference for a given set of passwords and was conducted as a pre-study to a more interactive online-study to give us a feeling about the constraints of decoy passwords. The survey revealed that in some scenarios it is possible to influence the preference for a target password by introducing an unfavorable decoy password. However, the preference for our target password was generally high, which leads us to believe that the choice architecture needs to be evolved further.

Influencing Self-Selected Passwords Through Suggestions and the Decoy Effect
We present results from an online experiment with the goal of nudging users towards stronger passwords. We explored the effect of suggesting different variations and constellations of passwords during password selection. In particular, we investigated whether the decoy effect can be applied here: When people face a choice between two options, adding a third, unfavorable option can influence the...

متن کاملActive Authentication using File System Decoys and User Behavior Modeling: Results of a Large Scale Study
We propose methods to enhance existing user authentication paradigms (such as passwords) with continuous active authentication. Our system adds additional levels of security without burdening the user with more credentials to manage. We utilize two complementary authentication modalities to validate user-identity: 1) behavior profiling for user-system interaction, and 2) baiting adversaries usi...
