1. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having computer readable instructions stored thereon for authenticating a user of a computing device, the computing device having a memory storing a base image and an overlay image, the base image having a selected base image reference point, and the overlay image having a selected overlay image reference point, the instructions comprising instructions for:
- generating a modified base image;
generating a modified overlay image;
displaying, on a display, the modified base image overlaid by the modified overlay image;
receiving an input for moving one of the modified base image or the modified overlay image;
moving the one of the modified base image or the modified overlay image in response to the input; and
in response to alignment of a first point on the modified base image with a second point on the modified overlay image, indicating positive authentication, the first point being a position relative to the selected base image reference point and the second point being at a position relative to the selected overlay image reference point.

Abstract
A method of authenticating a user of a computing device is proposed, together with computing device on which the method is implemented. In the method a modified base image is overlaid with a modified overlay image on a display. At least one of the modified base image and modified overlay image is moved by the user. Positive authentication is indicated in response a first point relative to the base image reference point being aligned with a second point relative to the overlay image reference point.

17. A computing device comprising:
-
a processor; a display; and one or more computer readable media having computer readable instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor implement a method of authenticating a user of the computing device, the computing device having a memory storing a base image and an overlay image, the base image having a selected base image reference point, and the overlay image having a selected overlay image reference point, the method including generating a modified base image;
generating a modified overlay image;
displaying, on the display, the modified base image overlaid by the modified overlay image;
receiving an input for moving one of the modified base image or the modified overlay image;
moving the one of the modified base image or the modified overlay image in response to the input; and
in response to alignment of a first point on the modified base image with a second point on the modified overlay image, indicating positive authentication, the first point being a position relative to the selected base image reference point and the second point being at a position relative to the selected overlay image reference point. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
