Abstract :
Human computer interaction with its varied applications has drastically influenced the way people interact with Computer over the years. The stream of HCI which helps disabled users of any kind to access and work on computer comes under the category of accessibility. Accessibility is a science which studies the ability to access. In this paper, we will study an upcoming field under accessibility which deals with Internet access, called Web accessibility. Concentrating on the access behavior and techniques of Visually impaired people, we propose three new authentication methods on various online portals, which inhibit hacking of the account of novice users. The methods are based on the concept where user can confirm correct parameters entered before log in using added fields, smart audible solutions and keyboard free access techniques. Hence, saving server resources and increasing user experience by hack free access.
