Maybe it will if the majority take it that way.
Security wise it is more secure than 4 digit pin, so is more digits. 6, 8 or 10 (like phone number)
However I can't see their justification regarding ease of use??
Remembering pictures as opposed to words is not a good comparison to a 4 digit number, 4 digits is equivalent to one word.This new emoji security technology is also easier to remember as² shows humans remember pictures better than words.
Memory expert Tony Buzan, and inventor of the Mind Map technique, said: “The Emoji Passcode plays to humans’ extraordinary ability to remember pictures, which is anchored in our evolutionary history. We remember more information when it’s in pictorial form, that’s why the Emoji Passcode is better than traditional PINs.”
Fact is with population growth they need to expand from the simple 4 digit PIN. so as above add more digits.
Doesn't take too much to remember a phone number of 10 digits if you want or need to; does it?
I would feel lost looking at 44 pictures & selecting the ones I need in the correct order; Untill I learn it of course, but that takes the time to learn a new 44 character alphabet!
They could use Chinese characters, now that would make it interesting.
How many people can't remember their lock screen pattern on their Smart Phone?
