Custom user skins are a good idea. My concern however is with people who cannot view images such as the users of screen readers. How will they use these new authentication schemes? Yes, cvision substitution technologies such as the vOICe (http://www.seeingwithsound.com) exist that help such users to view images by converting them to sound but they require a lot of training. Plus, how would people who are both hearing and vision impaired handle such an authentication scheme? Any authentication scheme that we deploy must have several alternative modes of accessing it.
