We developed a deformable flexible device for a more tactile password-input method, called BendyPass. BendyPass recognizes 10 possible gestures and a sequence of bend and fold gestures on BendyPass represents a bend password. BendyPass is made of silicone and has 5 flex sensors able to recognize bend gestures, 1 vibration motor to provide haptic feedback to users and a button to delete entries or confirm the entered password.
