Graphical password schemes overcomed the shortcomings of textual passwords,but they were vulnerable to shoulder surfing attacks.to solve and overcome this problem,text and images are combined to generate passwords for providing higher security for password.A new technique called session password is introduced on the combination of text and images to solve the problem of security.Session password can be used everytime the password is created for authentication.Two techniques are used to generate session password which overcomes the attacks like shoulder surfing,dictionary attacks
