Abstract
A method and system for authenticating an access to a service on a device that includes a touch-sensitive screen. An entry of a code to the touch-sensitive screen is received through at least one opening in a stencil at one or more predefined locations in the stencil positioned on the touch-sensitive screen. The one or more predefined locations define an access code; and it is determined that the entered code equals the access code, and in response, the access to the service on the device is granted.
