Abstract
A 3D graphical password authentication method displays a 3D grid upon a user'"'"'s request to access a restricted resource. The 3D graphical password authentication method requires the user to enter his or her access password by touching one or more intersections, namely touching the corresponding sensitive areas, on the 3D grid with an input device. A password is then produced as a sequence of the coordinates of the intersections touched along with penup values.
