IMPROVED SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RANDOM ENTRY OF PASSWORD The invention relates to a system and a method which assigns an incomplete security code/PIN/password each time an user is to access a secured system employing a security code/PIN/password entry system, so that to an observer, the password is entered in a random manner. The user will for security code/PIN/password of the length N, be shown N blanks spaces with some of the spaces randomly filled up with asterisk for which no data entry is required. The user is required to enter the remaining characters of the security/PIN/password when prompted by the system to correctly enter each character corresponding to the position of the password prompted. The order of entering the remaining characters of the security code/PIN/password will be randomly chosen by the system through the use of prompting. If a touch screen is used to enter the characters, then it will be possible to change the position of the keypad on the screen for each entry in an orderly manner.
