Description

Use the picture as the password to unlock your PDA instantly with a single tap! Text passwords are too tiresome for PDA protection - you turn your PDA on dozens of times a day, expecting quick access to your data. PicturePassword displays the picture of your choice when you turn your PDA on.

You tap the secret point and access your PDA in less than a second. Security has never been easier! PicturePassword eliminates Picture Code guessing and monitors access attempts. If an incorrect Picture Code is entered, PicturePassword will prompt for the System password, which is hard to guess. Also you can instantly unlock your PDA by pressing the secret hardware button sequence. Picture and button codes work simultaneously, you may choose the most comfortable way to unlock your handheld.
