Traditional passwords and pins. A new solution?

At 3dpixel.net we have a customer who showed us an interesting new take on online security, more specifically in the field of user authentication.
End users today have a myriad of passwords and pin numbers to remember which each site seems to confuse. E.g. on some sites you have to use characters and numbers, some you have to put a minimum of 9 characters in etc.
pinoptic aims to solve this through the use of visual pictogram indicators that rotate each time a login is attempted. This means that effectively whilst the user still has the same password each time an attempt is made (through the use of a memorable sentence rather than a name or number), the entry field is not the same.
