Abstract

A method of a wireless communication device for accessing secure resources of a resource provider or the device itself. A password associated with the wireless communication device is identified. A password identifier is assigned to the password and a non-password identifier is assigned to a non-password different from the password. The password identifier has a non-sequential association with the non-password identifier. The password identifier, the password, the non-password identifier, and the non-password are provided at a user interface of the wireless communication device. Access to a secure resource is granted in response to determining that the password identifier has been detected at the user interface.
