User Authentication in computer systems is an important cornerstone in today’s computer era. The concept of a login id and password is one of the easiest ways for authentication. It is not only the easiest way, but also cost effective and highly efficient. Authentication process to an any computing system is composed of two parts i.e. identification and verification. Login Id is used for identification and password is used for verification. It is very important to secure both the phases of authentication process. In this paper, a system is proposed where security is provided to the identification phase of authentication process without the involvement of any specialized devices. In identification phase, concept called mindmetrics is implemented where personal secret data instead of login id is used to identify the user. In verification phase, the old traditional concept of password verification is used. The proposed system does not make use of any hardware device and hence it is cost effective.
