Abstract
Certain aspects of a device and method for authenticating a user are disclosed. The device may display a first set of images and receive a user input. The received user input may comprise a set of gestures and a selection of a plurality of images from the first set of images in a pre-determined sequence. The selected plurality of images may be modified based on the set of gestures. The device compares the modified selected plurality of images with a second set of pre-stored images. The device may authenticate the user based on the comparison.
