The research project URIA inspects the widely deployed password-based authentication. Everyone knows the difficulty of choosing and, especially, remembering good passwords. In addition, password-protected systems involve high security risks because they can be “cracked” quickly. Hence, password-based authentication has weaknesses in terms of
usability as well as security. In contrast to that, risk-based authentication has the potential of improving security without degrading usability.
