We present a new password system, called dual password system, with the user verification procedure. Dual password system is the first password system in the world preventing the exposure of secret information to imposter at the terminal. User of dual password system matches two alphabets at same location of first password and second password iteratively for inputting password. Therefore, the deriving method of first password and second password from the password is important in dual password system. Related to the deriving method of first password and second password from password, a new problem, called dual password derivation problem, is defined, and the evaluation factors for the solutions of the dual password derivation problem are presented.
