Passwords

Password guidance has historically ignored human factors issues and required people to do things like changes passwords frequently which seems secure, but actually reduces security since it forces people to pick weaker passwords that they can easily memorize. NIST is finally taking some of these points into account with their new proposed guidance.

Security studies, particularly those that use new or novel hardware, are challenging to study the usability of. This project looks at the feisability of studying such technologies using virtual reality.
