| Read for mobile devices not for PC so it does fuck all. Hope they don't plan saying this is a new feature because it's been around for awhile. My chinese tablet that was fifty bucks for the kids does this since it's on Android and I could care less about it. |

Wow. I thought these guys would be working on improving security.
Now you can grab the passwords from behind, even steps away...
Congrats. |

Is there any reason this just has to be for touch devices?
Why can't I use my damn mouse?
Note: Not that I will be getting this trash. Maybe 9, lol |

| thing is, I can create 32 key password, all random, paste it somewhere so I don't loose it. Or, I could have some mix of letters and numbers that have a meaning, so I don't forget. What can I do with this? Draw a stickman just so I don't forget? Maybe a flower? I mean, random shapes and gestures are bound to be forgotten if not used very often... |

| The reason I said mobile devices is because mobile devices are doing it already. I honestly don't care if it's in the product. It's the fact that they announce shit like this without actually improving on something. Give me a reason to install it for plain home use that doesn't have to do anything with driver support and I'll be content. |

You can always pick a picture with numbers I guess. |
