With an emphasis on Digital India and Government’s encouragement for cashless transactions, it has become essential for organizations to maintain the secrecy of login credentials of their employees and clients. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid any suspicious activities/attempts to steal such data by the unauthenticated user. There are many methods to achieve secure logins like OTP and Token generators. But these methods require additional devices to be carried by the authenticated user. Loss or change of the additional devices can obstruct the authenticated user from logging in. Organizations can increase the authenticate user’s comfort while maintaining the secrecy by storing a bunch of decoy passwords or “honeywords” corresponding to the correct password in the hashed password database. For the purpose of ‘password cracking’ an unauthenticated user hacking the hashed password database would not be able to identify the decoy password and an attempted use of honeyword can set off an alarm. In the proposed work the Honeyword generation method i.e. chaffing-with- tweaking provide an enhanced password security as a solution to an open problem that also overcomes password-cracking problem.
