thanks for the replies. for information image as passwords here is not referred to any biometrics techniques. It is about using images as the passwords. When the user want login they will use the image as the passwords. mean here that they need to remember the image they have seen before. If they can recognize all the image then the user will be permitted to enter the system. I need any opinion about this technique. What do you think?

Maybe most of you all can recognise the image, but for me i don't think so . it so un-user friendly, except you really got something important to lockout. for me i wont go for recognise all the image just for access my com.

In order to achieve this, one would assume that the images would need to be stored on the system.

How would one type in/select an image?

Even if the computer had 1 million images stored. That is 1 million static images that could be used to brute force your way into a system. The amount of combinations will become finite, as compared to todays system which allows an infinite (or at least a incomputable amount) of combinations.

Now, the image can be combined with the use of a password.

Take the 3 layer approach. You first must type in the correct password which then allows you to select the correct combination of images.
Which then allows you to type in an additional password that then allows you access into the system.

I can see that working.
