Few people can recall more than several unique passwords due
to the cognitive phenomenon called “Interference of Memory”.
The password predicament can be largely mitigated by our
that accepts images
as well as conventional characters.
Wait! Passwords should not be
killed dead, but should be expanded

3.
There are
several known
pictures in the
matrix
I can easily find all
of them right away
Only I can select all
of them correctly
Both images and characters being accepted, I now have broader choices.
The prototype of EPS made its debut in early 2000 in Japan.
Perhaps a bit too early and in a wrong place .
Torturous login is history. Login is now comfortable, relaxing and healing.

4.
Multi-factor authentications?
- Dependent on a password as one of
the factors !
Biometrics?
- Dependent on a password in
case of false rejection !
ID federations?
- Single point of failure &
dependent on a master-
password !
World with passwords killed dead?
- Life with no safe sleep. Nightmare!
is unique in that it enables users to make use of
“episodic/autobiographic” image memory that is the
least susceptible to “interference of memory”

5.
Congested with many competitions are the domains AROUND
the password,
i.e., biometrics, two/multi-factor schemes and ID federations
(single-sign-on services and password management tools),
all of which depend on the use or combined-use of the password
either for security or convenience.
No congestion is seen as yet IN the domain of the very successor to
the head-aching character-based password.
In this domain our Expanded Password System that accepts images
as well as characters would be found outstanding as a pioneer.
Simple picture passwords including emoji-PIN and pattern-on-grid
methods can be deployed on the EPS platform.

6.
Better security gained for users of password-managers and SSOservices
thanks to more reliable master-passwords for decentralised deployment.
Even better security gained for users of two/multi-factor authentication
schemes thanks to a more reliable password as one of the factors.
Less vulnerable security gained for users of biometric product operated
with a fallback password thanks to a more reliable fallback password.
Nothing lost for users who do not like the troubles of using images
because they can keep using character-based passwords as before.
Lost is a small extra trouble of getting images registered.
