Numbers Out, Patterns In. Android Security Scaled For Toddlers

  • Google’s always gotta be different and this time’s no different.
  • Android forgoes the traditional numerical pin for unlocking in place of shapes drawn across a series of dots.
  • According to reports and this video, at least four dots must be used in the shape making process.

But wait, it looks like there’s a jelly smear on the screen.  Oh that’s right, guessing unlock shapes is like stealing passwords from a baby.
