| Abstract | Although text passwords suffer from several flaws, they are still wide-spread. Biometric authentication
schemes are one possible alternative. However, previous study results suggest there might be two user
groups preferring either knowledge-based or biometric authentication, due to different reasons. We conducted an online survey with 95 German participants to test this assumption. Our results provide evidence
for the existence of two user groups, with preferences varying between different usage scenarios. Main
reasons named for both methods are efficiency, security and habit, whereas privacy is another advantage
provided by text passwords. Service providers should consider this diverging preferences in their decision
to implement a particular authentication method. |
