Abstract
Systems and methods for generating secure passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), and other user credentials using touch-aware devices are described. In some cases, an end user of a computing device may use a touch-sensitive interface (e.g., a touchscreen) to indirectly enter user credentials for accessing protected information or a protected computing resource using the computing device. The end user may indirectly enter the user credentials by entering information that is different from the actual user credentials. In one example, the touch-sensitive interface may display a plurality of numbers and paths connecting the plurality of numbers and the end user of the computing device may select a sequence of numbers of the plurality of numbers using a touch gesture. The computing device may generate a user credential different from the sequence of numbers using the sequence of numbers selected by the end user.
