Password-based authentication is vulnerable because of its low cost and convenience, but it is still widely used. In order to increase the security of the password-based user authentication method, the password is changed frequently, and it is recommended to use a combination of numbers, alphabets and special characters when generating the password. However, it is difficult for users to remember passwords that are difficult to create and it is not easy to change passwords periodically. Therefore, in this paper, we implemented a user authentication system that does not require a password by using the USB memory that is commonly used. Authentication data used for authentication is protected by USB data stored in USB memory using USB device information to improve security. Also, the authentication data is one-time and reusable.Based on this, it is possible to have the same security as the password authentication system and the security level such as certificate or fingerprint recognition.
