Abstract
A system for transferring secured data has an authentication facilitator that transmits data indicative of a graphical key pad to a remote display device of a user computing device and, in response, receives from the user computing device icon location data indicative of locations of icons selected by a user. Additionally, the authentication facilitator recovers a personal identifier (PI) from the icon location data, translates the recovered PI to obtain a translated PI, and transmits the translated PI. The system further has a partner computing apparatus that receives the translated PI and allows the user access to a secured area based upon the translated PI.
