I kind of like the "picture password" option. It shows innovation in an area that badly needs some (authentication) and should be easier to remember for many people than a PIN code, I think.

Picture passwords would be harder to write down, but I'm not yet sure whether that's a negative or a positive.




"should be easier to remember for many people than a PIN code"

Until that day you forgot your tablet home and you had to explain your wife where to tap in order to retrieve that document you need. :)


This problem is solved by simply keeping documents on a server somewhere (I hesitate to say 'the cloud', but that's the marketing term for it) instead of only on the device.


IMO You can switch the auth mode if you want to.
