Pattern Lock Android predict – Telegraaf.nl

Android users who use a sweeping pattern to unlock their phone , making the same mistakes as those using a normal password. People seem creatures of habit and attackers can abuse them. According to a study by the University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway

.

Instead of a PIN or password can Android users on a square with nine points make a pattern. Researcher Marte Løge analyzed 4000 of these patterns and found that the majority (77 percent) of the patterns starts from one of the four corners. In fact, a whopping 44 percent of the patterns begins in the upper left corner

In addition, it appears that most people even have a pattern consisting of five points, but 9000 combinations are possible.. That may seem like a lot, but the process can be automated, so it is a lot faster. Also, many people make a combination in the form of a letter, such as the first letter of the name of a pet, child or loved one, which is also easy to guess.

Løge gives some tips as difficult to guess possible to create pattern. Do not start in the corners, make it as long as possible and turn visual feedback when entering, so that no one can tit peaks.
