Android pattern security isn't
 
Can be cracked in five goes

The Pattern Lock system which is used to provide security on millions of Android phones is a doddle to crack.

Researchers apparently can manage it in five goes, and the more complicated patterns are the easiest to crack.

For those who came in late, Pattern Lock is a replacement for PIN codes or text passwords. It is used by 40 per cent of Android device owners. Users must first draw a pattern on an on-screen grid of dots. If this matches the pattern set by the owner, then the device can be used.
