Pattern password

[Princeton Johan Moultrie]

Here's a great suggestion I just came up with.

This is for Android Pattern Security.

What about a 3 way pattern password system that allows the person to make 3 different patterns, that require a person to get on their phone.

Here's the thing, sound proofing only does so much and when your out and about, you don't people getting a hold of your phone know your pattern password.

There's only so many ways that can made with a pattern lock and the way programming is, you don't want certain people in your stuff for for good reason.

Let's continue.

It would be a great suggestion to set a timer for it, once a day, by our means, to make, create, set a timer for the 3 way pattern daily check in.
It also provides, increased security measures if they, set up their password for when their phone power's off, (just in case it's stolen) and would require whatever that 3 way daily pattern (or more. Should be a limit but around 10 would be cool for some lol) in order to gain access to the phone.

Another great one added with it, would be a freaking, fingerprint scan before or after the pattern sequence lol.

i would not use this system. i'm pretty good with my phone and this would just annoy me. my fingerprint sensor works just fine and takes a second to unlock.

not sure why you would need a timer and have this done multiple times a day. and you said sound proofing? not sure what that has to do with lockscreen and security.

Yes there is.

Moves = 4, combinations = 1624
Moves = 5, combinations = 7152
Moves = 6, combinations = 26016
Moves = 7, combinations = 72912
Moves = 8, combinations = 140704
Moves = 9, combinations = 140704

FWIW I use a six move pattern unlock, I think 26,016 combinations is good enough for me and isn't likely to be guessed too quickly. And nobody else knows it, apart from me. Although I usually use fingerprint unlock, and pattern after a restart or periodically.

It's been >30 years since my last college math course, but common sense seems to dictate that the last two values can't be identical. What am I missing?

I see your point and understand added security is alway a good idea. Your idea is creative and a unique approach but reputation of the 3 patterns every time to unlock is not very user friendly. Just use fingerprint as the other suggest. Why complicate when theres a better way? As for me, reson I stopped using payter lock was because it frustrated the hell out of me and that was just one. Im not saying your wrong,
