I'm sure many of us have forgotten our passwords once or twice before, what more with the number of accounts that we have to remember these days. Scientists have developed a new kind of software that uses pictures in place of letters and numbers for security codes, and hopes to expand this idea into other areas to prevent unauthorized entry by fraudsters. Not only that, this development could make it easier for those who experience language difficulties such as dyslexia. Such picture-passwords are drawn over a background, where the computer will remember the actual number of strokes used, the way the image was started as well as the order in which they were made. While a picture is said to be worth a thousand words, a few characters would suffice here in lieu of traditional passwords.
