I was curious how exactly I can "Login with my mind" so I took a look at the patent[0]. I only spent a few minutes reading through it, but below looks like the summary of their tech. Spoiler, no brain-reading technology present:
> Prior to subsequent logins, the user also predefines the sequence or pattern criteria for selecting the objects positioned on the GUI, and sequentially inputting the text associated with each. By employing this pattern, and visually determining the objects, a number of which sequentially correspond to the user-known pattern displayed on the GUI, an authentication password is determined. The password is input by the user typing the corresponding dynamic word string defined by the users pre-defined words which are associated with the viewed objects in that particular sequence. >From I can surmise the user assigns a password with a picture, so when the picture shows up, the user inputs the password. >From the website: > The insecurity and difficulty of having to remember multiple passwords are simply overwhelming for everyone. Now instead of having to remember a single password we have to remember N passwords :-) I will stick with OTP MFA. [0] http://www.google.com/patents/US8813219
