ABSTRACT
Textual passwords, biometric scanning, tokens or cards (such as an ATM), and other password models are now available to
users. Textual passwords, for the most part, use an encryption method. Biometric scanning serves as your natural signature, while
Cards or Tokens serve as proof of your identity. However, some people despise having to carry their cards with them, and others
reject to have their retinas exposed to powerful IR (Biometric scanning). Nowadays, most textual passwords are kept basic, such
as a phrase from the dictionary or their pet names. Klein used to do these tests and could crack 10-15 passwords every day. With
the advancement of technology, fast computers, and a plethora of Internet-based applications, this has become a child's game.As
a result, 3D passwords are a more customised and intriguing method of authentication. Passwords are now predicated on the fact
that humans have memory. Simple passwords are usually used so that they may be remembered easily. In our concept, the human
memory must go through the processes of recognition, recall, biometrics, and token-based authentication. The 3D password GUI
appears once you've implemented it and logged in to a secure site. This is a second textual password that the user can type in. A
3D virtual room will appear on the screen after he completes the first authentication. Let's imagine we're talking about a virtual
garage. In today's garage, one will find a variety of tools, equipment, and other items.

3. METHODOLOGY
Currently, research on 3D passwords suggests using a
virtual environment. International global journal for
engineering research (2014) [3] The main concept in this
virtual environment is to create a virtual room where
everything exists within the screen of a computer or
laptop, similar to the environment created when we
play video games. Vishal kolhe. (2013) [5] However, as
technology advances, we now have access to a variety
of electronic devices that can assist us in creating a 3D
password system with real-time environment. As a
result, the suggested system specifies that the user
would have the ability to select the amountof items he
wishes to use.Thencan choose the type of thing he
wishes to utilise, which may be a cylindrical object, a
conical object in the shape ofa cap, or a conical object in
the shape of a hat., a cuboidal object, such as an eraser,
any real-time object Laptops, duster, marker, and other
items are all readily available.Theobjects must then be
