Everyone connected and using the Internet is concerned regarding the security and also the privacy of their sensitive information available on the Internet. As authentication is the fundamental part of security, there are different authentication mechanisms through which the systems can be secured. The password-based authentication mechanism is a cheap and easy method for enforcing authentication in the systems for many years. The weakest aspect in password security is human, as they choose weak and easy to guess passwords or a highly secure and complex password which might be difficult to remember and recover the password. On the other hand, Dictionary and Brute force attacks are widely used to compromise the passwords of the users over the Internet. In this paper, a password generation system is proposed which generates a password based on the user’s input like, time and location data. The system generates a password that is highly secure, easy to remember, easy to recover, and can effectively defend against Brute force and dictionary attacks. The generated passwords have been checked in three online password checkers, which verifies that the system is generating highly secure and crack resistant passwords. The system is implemented using PHP scripting language with a user-friendly environment.
