Abstract
Systems and methods for creating a visual password are presented. A user having an account or profile is given the option to create a visual password via a graphical user interface. The interface displays a plurality of themes to the user, wherein each theme represents a category of images. The user selects a theme and is presented with a plurality of images within the category. The user selects one or more images in a certain order to create a visual password. The selected images and order of selection are saved as the user's visual password. When the user later attempts to electronically access his account, the user will be required to select the correct pictures in the correct sequence in order to access his account.
