> and LivingSocial. Yet passwords, PIN codes, and similar remain the most prevalent method 
> of personal authentication. Clearly, we have a systemic problem.
> 
>  Passwords is the singular conference gathering researchers, password crackers, and 
> enthusiastic experts from around the globe, aiming to better understand the challenges 
> surrounding the methods personal authentication and passwords, and how to adequately solve

> participants with plenty opportunity to communicate with the speakers before, during, and 
> after their presentations. (https://passwordscon.org/)

> Short Papers will also be subject to peer review, where the emphasis will be put on work in 
> progress, hackers achievements, industrial experiences, and incidents explained, aiming at 
> novelty and promising directions. Short paper submissions should not be more than 6 pages in 
> standard LNCS format in total. A short paper must be labeled by the subtitle "Short Paper." 
> Accepted short paper submissions may be included in the conference proceedings. Short 
> papers do not need to be anonymous.  The program committee may accept full research 
> papers as short papers.
> 
> Tutorial proposals are expected to explain new methods, techniques, tools, systems, and 
> services within the Passwords scope. The time frame is one hour.  Proposals can be submitted 
> in any format. Publication will be by streaming, video and web.
