Abstract
A user may be authenticated to access an account, computing device, or other resource using gaze tracking. A gaze-based password may be established by prompting a user to identify multiple gaze targets within a scene. The gaze-based password may be used to authenticate the user to access the resource. In some examples, when the user attempts to access the resource, the scene may be presented on a display. In some examples, the scene may be a real-world scene including the user's real-world surroundings, or a mixed reality scene. The user's gaze may be tracked while the user is viewing the scene to generate login gaze tracking data. The login gaze tracking data may be compared to the gaze-based password and, if the login gaze tracking data satisfies the gaze-based password, the user may be authenticated to access the resource.
