Therefore, the issues that cause people not to use password managers must be investigated and, more generally, what users think about them and the user interfaces of password managers. However, there is low adoption of password managers, even though they are widely available, and there are fewer studies on users of password managers. Password managers appear to be a promising solution to help people handle their passwords. These unique results have practical implications for researchers and practitioners that could positively impact password security, and the financial losses suffered due to password security breaches.Ī password is considered to be the first line of defence in protecting online accounts, but there are problems when people handle their own passwords, for example, password reuse and difficult to memorize. Additionally, colour also provided another security parameter by increasing password entropy. Through giving the user the option of choosing the colours (compared with colours being preselected), encourages users to create more personal and meaningful memory cues when creating their passwords. By adding colour to the password process, our results suggest that password memorability and security can be increased simultaneously. A longitudinal study examined in total over 3000 passwords that were created, learnt and recalled (password process) over a period of five-weeks. We introduce novel approach that utilises colour as a memory cue to increase password memorability and security. Previous researchers and practitioners have attempted to suggest ways to improve password memorability and security simultaneously. However, with password numbers increasing, many users struggle with remembering multiple passwords, which affects their security behaviour. Although there are many options to authenticate digital users, passwords remain the most common authentication mechanism. The authentication process is the first line of defence against potential impostors, and therefore is an important concern when protecting personal and organisational data.
