EASE 2026
Tue 9 - Fri 12 June 2026 Glasgow, United Kingdom

We propose a graphical authentication scheme that follows a simple “Pick and Sort” design in which users choose visual elements and arrange them within a grid. Both the number of selected elements and the grid size are configurable, and the visual elements can be customized for specific user groups, such as children. A preliminary study with a prototype implementation indicated that the scheme is easy to learn and flexible to deploy. Although login times are longer than those of conventional authentication methods, the additional interaction may be acceptable in scenarios that are not time-critical, such as infrequent-access use cases or as a secondary authentication mechanism.
