Abstract : Phishing is a type of attack in which attackers obtain personal information such as usernames, passwords, credit card information, and network credentials. They deceive victims by impersonating a reputable individual or entity and conducting specific acts, such as clicking on a harmful connection or attachment or intentionally revealing sensitive information over the phone or through email. In general, phishing sites attempt to deceive victims by pretending they are on a legitimate website to steal their account credentials and other sensitive information. In this paper, we implemented a safe authentication system using secret-key sharing and QR codes. This authentication system has a dedicated mobile application for authentication, which will eliminate the process of entering the website’s credentials and as a result, it will provide robustness for phishing.
