Abstract

To authorize an access to an application, a user interface renders a geometrical pattern on receiving a trigger to access the application. The rendered geometrical pattern includes an instance of an arrangement of one or more first nodes and one or more second nodes. The rendered geometrical pattern is associated with an input type to receive a selection of the first nodes and the second nodes. The selection of the first nodes and the second nodes is received as an authorizing key. The authorizing key is matched with an authorizing passcode stored in memory to provide access to the application.
