Abstract
MVP is a new framework for allowing websites to use diverse knowledge-based authentication schemes. One application is its use in conducting ecologically valid user studies of authentication schemes under the same experimental conditions. We introduce MVP and its key characteristics, discuss implementation of several authentication schemes, and report on a user study successfully comparing four schemes.
