So who else but me thinks that the photos used in Johnny Mnemonic as a password will somehow become common in the world of image passwords?
I guess if we used images as passwords, there'd be a smaller possibility of having the same password as someone else. If we're talking about taking pictures yourself of something you cherish to use as a password, no two people are going to have the same picture. If we're talking about capturing an image from a TV show or movie, again, not too many people will have the same exact image. Since there are normally 30 frames a second, the pixel arrangement in the picture can change up to 30 times each second. Therefore, images can sometimes be similar to the naked eye, but when it comes to it, their pixels will be arranged in just a slightly different way, depending on the action of the movie/show being captured.

Anyways, that's my 2 cents.
