A method for generating a changing authentication input or password generation input for a user is provided. The method allows access to a computing device such as a smartphone or computer or using the computing device to communicate over a network to a server. Using recognizable objects displayed in positions on a graphic display, and input strings of text or alphanumeric characters the user has identified as related information relating to each recognizable object, a password or authentication can be generated by combining the input strings relating recognizable objects to paired related objects. Authentication can be varied easily for each access attempt by changing the recognizable objects displayed and/or the sequence of responses.
