Users would have to choose a unique username and draw any shape on a 4x4 unlock pattern, similar to that already used on mobile devices.


They will then be assigned four random themes, being prompted to select one image from 30 in each.


When they subsequently log in to their account, the user would enter their username and draw the pattern lock, with the next screen containing a series of 16 images, among which are two of their selected images, six associated distractors and eight random decoys.


Correctly identifying the two images would lead to the generated eight-digit random code located on the top or left edges of the login panel which the user would then need to type in to gain access to their information.
