Graphical passwords for better security

As someone who

  • has so many passwords for so many sites, forums, control panels etc etc
  • is primarily visual and retains information more effectively in scribbles/arrows and illustrations
  • has resorted to jotting all these passwords down in a simple address book

I was delighted to see a recent article by Roland Piquepaille entitled Graphical passwords for better security which details some interesting alternatives to text-based password control.
