Earth's View

1. Settings Corner: Tap the top left corner to enter settings menu.
2. Introductory Tutorial: Tap the top right corner to start an introductory tutorial.
3. Accounts Corner: Tap the bottom right corner to enter password settings accounts.
4. Geographical location: A rectangular shaped geographical area selected by the user by long tapping the area to select it as her geographical location (that is your password). Users can select more than one location on planet Earth.
   • Note: That the order in which geographical locations were selected is considered, in other words, picking location A then location B will result in a different password than picking location B then location A. Furthermore, if two users pick the same places in the same sequence and select the same settings for their passwords, the resulted geographical password will be totally different, since each map is unique to each user.

1. Something You Know Stage:
   • When the user long tap on a geographical location, the geographical characteristics of the selected place (or places) will be extracted.
   • These geographical characteristics are then concatenated with account password settings of the selected account.
2. Something You Have Stage:
   • A keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC) operation will be preformed where the key is the user's 256 bit randomly generated personal key (generated during installation) and the message is the result of the value obtained from the something you know stage (i.e. geographical characteristics+account password settings). The result of the HMAC operation is the geographical password.

1. Your Places: This section displays the selected places in the order they have been selected. When the user long tap a geographical location on planet earth, a link to the place will appear. Clicking the link will move the map view to the selected place. This helps the user keep track of the places she has selected.
2. Map Settings: This section displays the settings for the map (Passwhere is using Google Maps).
   • Satellite: Displays the map based on satellite information.
   • Terrain: Displays the map based on terrain information.
   • Store Location for Fast or Offline Access: Turn the switch on to store the selected geographical location(s) securely and locally in the smartphone. A biometric authentication dialog box should appear (after Passwhere restart) to allow the user to access her passwords without the need to allocate the places on the map manually. It will also allow for offline access. Turn switch off and it will delete the location stored in the smartphone. This feature requires enabling biometric authentication at user's device (please refer to your smartphone manual for further details).
3. Backup: Since Android 6, Google has introduced a feature called Auto Backup for Apps, which is enabled by default, and will backup user's app data when the smartphone is idle, plugged into a charger, and has the WiFi on. Such mechanism will restore the user's Key and Accounts settings should Passwhere get uninstalled by accident or lost.
