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 its 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''.
