Abstract
In real time world password will be compromise by some adversaries is common for different purpose. In ICC 2008 Lei et al. introduced a new user authentication system based on the virtual password system methodology. In virtual password methodology they have used function based on the linear randomization approach, to be secure against identity theft attacks, phishing attacks, keylogging attack and shoulder surfing system. At ICC 2010 Li’s given a security attack which compromised the user on the Lei’s work. The proposed approach gives modification on Lei’s work to prevent the Li’s attack with reducing the server overhead. This paper also discussed the problems with current email password recovery system and gives the better approach.
