Security or Usability : A literature study about strategies for how users choose passwords

Security solutions such as passwords are widely used around the world. Choosing a new password is an important security choice with significant concern for end users. For the emphasis on the security-focused feature of a password, passwords can be complicated and long. For the emphasis on the usability feature of a password, passwords can also be simple, straightforward - easy to remember and apply. The security/usability tradeoff indicates opposing restrictions that form password creation and use. Learning how users choose their passwords and the constraints they are dealt with for these tradeoffs can support technologists to improve their authentication system. Moreover, strong passwords are not always easy to remember while the effect of weak passwords is not described thoroughly to users so users certainly have a demand for good password solutions that can support them to meet their own goals. As a result, readers will explore answers to these questions and study how to be more secure with password authentication in this paper
