Abstract
A method for composing an authentication password associated with an electronic device is implemented by a password composing system including a display, a receiving unit, and a processing unit. In the method, the display is configured to display a start point, and a plurality of displayed paths. The receiving unit is configured to detect a set of user-input movements of a contact point at the display. The processing unit is configured to determine whether the user-input movements conform with a predefined valid user-input gesture, store a plurality of codes corresponding to the valid user-input gestures, and to compose the authentication password according to valid ones of the series of the user-input movements.
