IA-06 Authentication Feedback
Control
Obscure feedback of authentication information during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation and use by unauthorized individuals.
Discussion
Authentication feedback from systems does not provide information that would allow unauthorized individuals to compromise authentication mechanisms. For some types of systems, such as desktops or notebooks with relatively large monitors, the threat (referred to as shoulder surfing) may be significant. For other types of systems, such as mobile devices with small displays, the threat may be less significant and is balanced against the increased likelihood of typographic input errors due to small keyboards. Thus, the means for obscuring authentication feedback is selected accordingly. Obscuring authentication feedback includes displaying asterisks when users type passwords into input devices or displaying feedback for a very limited time before obscuring it.
Assessment Objective
the feedback of authentication information is obscured during the authentication process to protect the information from possible exploitation and use by unauthorized individuals.
