WHEEL-BASED AUTHENTICATION

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for authentication is provided. The method includes displaying, on a display device and while in a locked state, a set of color wheels, each color wheel having a plurality of segments with each segment being a different color. User input is received via an input device on the set of color wheels. The user input is converted to a string. The string is communicated to an authentication server. In response to communicating the string, a response is received from the authentication server and the response is processed.
