Investigating the usability of using Doodles Scan System (DSS): The case of Misurata

Online applications and computer applications software are increasingly grown and one of the most cornerstone issues of these applications is the usability issue. Investigating the usability of using any technique is very important before distributing that technique. In this paper, we investigate an authentication systems based on recognition graphical password using Doodles Scan System (DSS) were used to investigate the usability of using doodles on web authentication. The DSS system needs very simple equipment: printer and scanner. Indeed, results showed that such equipment are often not available in Misurata University which affects the usability of the proposed technique. Moreover, the efficiency of using DSS with 41 participants was only usable for five participants. As consequence, the doodles scan system DSS might have some difficulties to be used in Libya or can be applied in proper places.
