What to Do for Login to Mobilephone ?

Don’t you think it’s extremely demanding and cumbersome to feed a safe, say, long and complex password on a mobilephone?

What we could think of are -

1. Login by pincode or grid-pattern? — Easy to practise, but you have to be uneasy if you store sensitive data in the phone.

2. Biometrics? — Very convenient but you know that the overall security is lower than a pincode/pattern-alone login due to the two factors deployed in a two-entrance/in-parallel formation

3. No password, no pincode, no pattern, say, absolutely no protection? — Skip the login altogether could be an answer if you are determined to do without storing any valuable information in the phone.

You want a true, valid and practicable solution?

Wait for image-based login software that we plan to offer for mobilephones. You will then only need to locate and touch several pictures from among dozens of decoys on the display, whereas the entropy it provides is high enough to fend off persistent attackers.

You cannot wait? Then, tolerate the weak protection of pincode/pattern while not storing any sensitive data on your smartphone. This could be a good stopgap measure for the likes of me who are unable to type a complex and long password with large/small letters, numbers and symbols used for PCs or practicing the hybrid password that we can suggest for PCs.

You are not happy with either of them and you do want to have a safer login for your mobilephone as quickly as possible? — Then, help us accelerate the development of our non-volatile-memory image-based login software for mobilephones.
