Even if he see him drawing signature ;) or even record it on tape or
one of this new cell phones ? It's easier than lurk keyboard pass.
And you have to assume some tolerance cause another way original user
would log in for hours before he'd succced. So it's easier to
repeat all process in original user-like style.

If you own a password (wchich you can choose, not your admin)
then you'll probably remember it as well as your drawing.


I propose to use old good eyescan plus user
has to blink-in password with Morse ;))).
And now seriously: this is much more complex then usual
password plus biodata from user style of keyboard typing
and seems more dangerous to me. But have fun if you wanna :).

I hated going to weddings.
All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next".
They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.
