Generating a key representation image having thereon a plurality of individual key images placed at random positions, each corresponding to a possible character value in an authentication phrase. Accepting a sequence corresponding to locations of mouse clicks representing user selections of character values in an attempted authentication phrase. Verifying that the sequence of location values corresponds to a correct authentication phrase by mapping the locations of the mouse clicks to the locations of the randomly placed key images.
