Abstract

It has always been an important security issue to prevent unauthorized access to our resources and it becomes more and more important as we go along in the digital era. Both possession based and biometric methods has been evolving fast and many experts say that the knowledge based methods, passwords, are not secure enough. In the present paper I prove that passwords in alone can be safe enough providing a publicly known case that shows that serious problems may occur if so-called experts give false advice to average users.
