Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
(a) causing a first three-dimensional (3D) shape to be displayed, which first 3D shape comprises a set of three or more 3D components that are not all cubes, each of said 3D components being three-dimensional;
(b) making, in response to input from a user, one or more changes to orientation and zero or more changes to color, position and/or overall geometric shape of at least one of the three or more 3D components in the set, the one or more changes resulting in a second 3D shape that is different from the first 3D shape in overall geometric shape and/or in the color of at least one of the 3D components in the set, wherein said one or more changes to orientation of at least one of the three or more 3D components in the set is made independent of changes to orientation of any other of said three or more 3D components in the set; and
(c) processing a first password, which first password is derived from the second 3D shape; wherein (i) the three or more 3D components in the set all share a common vertex with each other, and (ii) before and after the making of the one or more changes, at least one 3D component in the set differs, in color and in overall geometric shape, from at least one other 3D component in the set.
