Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: presenting, by a computing system, while the computing system is in an unlocked state, an indication of a plurality of graphical user interface elements that are to be presented when the computing system is in a locked state and are to be available for selection in various sequences to cause the computing system to transition from the locked state to the unlocked state; receiving, by the computing system, while the computing system is in the unlocked state, first user input that: receiving, by the computing system, while the computing system is in the unlocked state, second user input that: displaying, by the computing system, while the computing system is in the locked state, the plurality of graphical user interface elements that are available for selection in various sequences to cause the computing system to transition from the locked state to the unlocked state; receiving, by the computing system, while the computing system is in the locked state, third user input that selects a particular sequence of at least three of the graphical user interface elements; comparing, by the computing system, while the computing system is in the locked state, the particular sequence of at least three of the graphical user interface elements with the first sequence of at least three of the graphical user interface elements and the second sequence of at least three of the graphical user interface elements to determine whether the particular sequence matches either of the first sequence and the second sequence, wherein the first sequence and the second sequence are each associated with a same level of unlocked security access to the computing system; and responding, by the computing system, to a determination that the particular sequence matches one of the first sequence and the second sequence by:
