Pics to replace alphanumeric passwords on (stupid people's) smartphones

The Inquirer has written a funny post on new security software called Mnemonic Guard for smartphones, which replaces passwords with pictures. The Inquirer's slant is that it's for "the stupid people". Hey, I think it's a great idea! If remembering a sequence of pics is really easier.

"Japanese software developer Mnemonic Security recognised that increasingly people are too thick to remember a four digit security codes. So now it’s invented a picture security code.

... Mnemonic Guard replaces alphanumeric passwords with "pass-symbols", a series of pictures or illustrated images that are easy for the user to remember".
