Each of the plurality of users has a respective user profile. The system further includes a processor-based demography-based pattern usage assessment generator for generating a demography-based pattern usage assessment by analyzing the crowd source history and the user profile of the plurality of users. The system also includes a user-perceptible indication device for providing an indication of the strength of the input picture password in accordance with the demography-based pattern usage assessment.
