Graphical passwords are a means of authentication whereby the user picks a password based on images as opposed to text. In some implementations, the user is required to pick from a series of images in the correct sequence in order to gain access. While some believe that graphical passwords would be harder to crack, others suggest that people will be just as likely to pick common images or sequences as they are to pick common passwords.
