Abstract
Systems and methods for authentication code entry in touch-sensitive screen enabled devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for entering data to a data entry device comprising at least one computer processor and a touch-sensitive screen may include (1) the touch-sensitive screen sensing a first input comprising at least one finger touch; (2) the touch-sensitive screen sensing a release of the first input; (3) the at least one computer processor determining a first number of finger touches in the first input; and (4) the at least one computer processor using the first number of finger touches to identify a first portion of an authentication code.
