>> How do you know which shape to use at each login time?
You set up a shape for each app first time it's used - so I might use a horse for one app and a number 3 shape for another app. The process authenticates who you are with data known about you and TFA. I use a memory based word map (a made up story to remember my passwords) to remember the shape for each app.

On the log on page, you enter your user name for the app and the grid is generated with a password box for the number.

The latter. The grids are time sensitive, i.e. they expire after a minute or so, so if you don't complete the log in you have to start again.
