The tandem “URIA” (Usability of Risk-based Implicit Authentication) deals with the widespread password-based authentication – be it in e-mail services, online shops or online banking. Everyone knows the agony of choosing and, above all, remembering good passwords. In addition, password-protected systems harbor high security risks because they can be “cracked” quickly. Password-based authentication therefore not only has weaknesses in usability but also in security. Risk-based authentication, on the other hand, has the potential to increase security without compromising usability.

A presentation of the tandem can be found here.
