    Since the advent of the windows securing of the computer files and folders have been a core issue. Passwords were introduced to solve the issue but they themselves have a lot of disadvantages. In this project, we shall see what all drawbacks the passwords bring and how we can solve them. Also we shall propose a Two Factor Authentication system which uses a combination of Bluetooth and Rijndael Encryption Algorithm. Bluetooth is the most commonly used technology. Almost every phone has this feature and it provides Point to Point short range of communication of devices. Since the range of Bluetooth is less, it can be a good choice as a security mechanism. Rijndael algorithm is an Advanced Encryption standard. It is the most effective encryption and decryption algorithm. It is a symmetric algorithm as it uses same key for encryption and decryption. It has 10 rounds of encryption and variable key size with a minimum of 128 bits. The larger the key the more security it provides. Using a combination of above two will notonly reduce the disadvantages of passwords, but also create a user friendly security system.
