ABSTRACT:
Computer users access and/or execute a selected restricted function on a computer using a graphical user interface (GUI) by entering an iconic password that is defined by selecting two or more visual icons, called code icons, in a sequence called an iconic password sequence. The entered sequence is compared to a target sequence that represents the restricted function. If the entered sequence matches the target sequence, the user is permitted to execute/access the restricted function. The number of possible combinations in the target sequence, and therefore system security, can be increased by inputting both a code icon and a target site for one or more of the components of the target sequence.
