1. A method to process a password, the method comprising:
- controlling, by a processor, a display to display multiple computer-generated objects;
receiving, by the processor, input effective to select a particular computer-generated object from amongst the displayed multiple computer-generated objects;
receiving, by the processor, input corresponding to a plurality of detected motions, the plurality of detected motions being effective to move and rotate the particular computer-generated object in its entirety on the display in at least one direction in accordance with the plurality of detected motions, each of the detected motions having a corresponding time period of a plurality of time periods;
generating, by the processor, the password using the plurality of detected motions and the plurality of time periods; and
authenticating a user using the generated password and an identified unrevealed authentication, wherein authenticating the user includes indicating an authentication failure when the plurality of detected motions are different from an expected input and any of the corresponding time periods are outside of an allowable time range.

8. A device to process information, the device comprising:
-
a display configured to display multiple computer-generated objects; and a processor coupled to the display and configured to; receive input effective to select a particular computer-generated object from amongst the displayed multiple computer-generated objects; receive input corresponding to a plurality of detected motions; move and rotate the particular computer-generated object in its entirety in at least one direction in response to the input corresponding to the plurality of detected motions and in accordance with the plurality of detected motions, each of the plurality of detected motions having a corresponding time period of a plurality of time periods; generate a password using the plurality of detected motions and the plurality of time periods; and authenticate a user by use of the generated password and an identified unrevealed authentication, wherein authentication of the user includes an indication of an authentication failure when the plurality of detected motions are different from an expected input and any of the corresponding time periods are outside of an allowable time range. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method to process a password, the method comprising:
-
instructing, by a processor, multiple computer-generated objects to be displayed on a display; receiving, by the processor, input effective to select a particular computer-generated object from amongst the displayed multiple computer-generated objects; receiving, by the processor, input corresponding to a plurality of detected motions, each of the detected motions having a corresponding time period of a plurality of time periods; moving and rotating, by the processor, the particular computer-generated object in its entirety in at least one direction on the display in response to the input corresponding to the plurality of detected motions and according to the plurality of detected motions, wherein the particular computer-generated object includes a first segmented trajectory after the particular computer-generated object moves in its entirety in the at least one direction on the display; generating, by the processor, the password using the plurality of detected motions and the plurality of time periods wherein the password corresponds to an unrevealed authentication; and authenticating, by the processor, a user in response to a determination that the generated password matches a preset password, wherein authenticating the user includes indicating an authentication failure when the plurality of detected motions are different from an expected input and any of the corresponding time periods are outside of an allowable time range.
