labs.mininova.org — Passclicks is a new way to login to websites without users having to remember their old style textual password. Just save your password by clicking on 5 points, then login by clicking on those same points with a 7px margin error. Ingenious!

nice idea, but when you choose a textual password, its a word or sequence having some special meaning to you, so you remember it very well. And I'm sure there isn't anything memorable in some points across an image. Anyway it could be used as a second layer of protection

Tell you what, I'd rather do this (plus enter a password) than log into my Lloyds bank where you have to select several letters from a passphrase, one letter per drop-down box (painful!), in addition to the usual password.I'd find it fascinating to see stats of who clicked on what, and whether anyone entered the same "password". A coloured overlay would be good too - eg dark red for an often clicked pixel.Looking through the comments, I dont see anyone that has used all the same points. So maybe not as obvious to guess as it first appears. Could be, well, paradoxical, like the Birthday Paradox.

that would be the supreme answer to all. Simply attach the user uploaded file with a special username, they type the user name, an xml request is sent, theyre shown their personal image, they click. voila!
