New form of passwords or PassImage to be specific

A group from Newcastle University has released work, that suggests new easier form of passwords that humans can remember well. The basic concept behind the Draw-a-Secret is that humans excels at image recognition and memory. They have, they claimed, refined the technique by parsing the shapes with a flexible grid and using existing images as background to reinforce memory of the password.
The only drawback for this is that you have to remember at which point exactly you started drawing, and which course you did take, as it not only matches the image you draw, but also how you draw. There will be people who have their own set of images, and then create a graffiti of alteration. Still not disclosed is what kind of images would be not allowed to be used as passImages. You know what i mean!
