Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes initiating a password selection session on a source augmented reality or virtual reality device (hereafter the source AR/VR device). The method also includes tracking an eye gaze of a source user using the source AR/VR device. In addition, the method includes determining gazed content from the eye gaze of the source user using a password key phrase determination feature. Additionally, the method includes generating a symmetric password key utilizing the gazed content according to a set of password determination rules. Moreover, the method includes performing an operation using the source AR/VR device, the operation being secured by the symmetric password key. The symmetric password key is not exchanged with any other device.
