[Development] Qml draw pattern as password

[Akın Gümüşkavak]

That would be really nice to have a component like that and save lots of time. Security is not my first priority at the moment but I will spend some time to implement something useful :)


Thanks anyway

I understood Akin to be describing the "unlock" screen 'phones often
use, where you trace a pattern with your finger over a pattern displayed
on the screen; the right pattern will unlock something.  It's a
"password" in this indirect sense ;-)

This, incidentally, sounds like a good widget for us to supply as a
standard component, or at the very least as an example that folk can
copy and adapt - just be sure to give it a nice thorough security audit
before we publish it !
