PassCue: The Shared Cues System in Practice

Shared Cues is a password management system proposed by Blocki, Blum and Datta at Asiacrypt 2013. Unlike the majority of password management systems Shared Cues passwords are never stored, even on the management device. The idea of the Shared Cues system is to help users choose and remember passwords in a manner proven to avoid brute force searching under reasonable assumptions.
