Passwords have finally evolved into something hackers will hate

The use of patterns or shapes in place of passwords is set to displace the hacker's favourite - the old-fashioned vulnerable fixed ID code which can so easily be captured and re-used - according to the two British inventors behind ShayypeTM.

Shayype is many times more secure than passwords, gives users new hacker-resistant login codes every time, yet is far easier to recall and use than passwords.

Already one UK firm - leading insurance quotation site 3XD - has announced plans to trial Shayype as soon as possible to protect customers and its own website from hacking.
