A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, via a computing device in a locked state, input of a first PIN; determining that the first PIN is associated with a first cryptographic key that is stored in a memory; responsive to determining that the first PIN is associated with the first cryptographic key, retrieving, from the memory, an encrypted form of a first credential that is associated with the first cryptographic key; recovering the first credential from the encrypted form using the first cryptographic key; and causing the computing device to be unlocked using the recovered first credential.

Systems and methods for controlling access to a computing device

Methods, systems and devices are provided for input of a sequence of digits such as a PIN code or password. A user can use swipe motions to choose the value of a digit and double tap to accept a digit, and swipe up to confirm that input of the sequence of digits is complete. Embodiments can be implemented on point of sale devices, merchant devices and customer devices including mobile devices.
