image digit to check password

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

There is a trend on internet that when you want to change your password, you
need to type :
1. the former password.
2. the new one
3. a 2nd time the new one to confirm that no mistake has been done on step
2.

however, several website also propose an additional security to avoid
hacking/brute force, they display a 4 digit image with a "random" string
including number and letters... something like A3P23.
if user do not respect case and string, password is not changed.

I would like to know how such system works and if a tutorial exist about
that ?

thanks a lot,
