"Sydney firm TokenOne has reinvented the "one-time pad for the digital age" in which the users remember a number sequence and each time they try to log-in, for instance, they are sent a number pad on their phone which has a different sequence of letters laid over it each time. The users input their secret number pattern and a corresponding group of letters comes up in the password box of the program they want to use. 

Managing director of TokenOne, Philip Cuff, says the system was strong because TokenOne verified the presence of the device and the user proved they knew their own password.

In the TokenOne system, the password is held mentally by the user."
