by the computing device, in response to the first user input, providing for presentation to the user an animation associated with the selected one of the interactive elements;

by the computing device, determining that an amount of time between the first user input and the previous user input is below a predetermined threshold value;

by the computing device, responsive to the amount of time between the first user input and the previous user input being below the predetermined threshold value, determining to present instructions for the user to perform a second user input on the selected one of the interactive elements;

by the computing device, receiving the second user input performed by the user on the selected one of the interactive elements; and

by the computing device, in response to the second user input, providing for presentation to the user a second user interface different from the first user interface, the second user interface being associated with the selected one of the interactive elements.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user interface is associated with one or more of the following:

a home screen;

a lock screen;

a launch screen; or

an application.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user interface is associated with a lock screen, and wherein the second user interface is associated with an application associated with the selected one of the interactive elements.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

by the computing device, in response to the second user input, providing for presentation to the user a password-entry interface, wherein the second user interface is provided for presentation to the user in response to the user entering a pre-determined password.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the animation comprises flipping the selected one of the interactive elements, the flipped interactive element comprising instructions to the user for providing input to the computing device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user input comprises one or more of the following gestures:

tapping;

pressing;

sliding; or

swiping.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user input comprises tapping, and wherein the second user input comprises swiping.

8. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

provide for presentation to a user a first user interface, the first user interface comprising a plurality of interactive elements;

receive a first user input selecting one of the interactive elements;

determine a level of user interaction with the selected one of the interactive elements, wherein the level of user interaction comprises an amount of time between the first user input and a previous user input selecting the one of the interactive elements;

in response to the first user input, provide for presentation to the user an animation associated with the selected one of the interactive elements

determine that an amount of time between the first user input and the previous user input is below a predetermined threshold value;

responsive to the amount of time between the first user input and the previous user input being below the predetermined threshold value, determine to present instructions for the user to perform a second user input on the selected one of the interactive elements;

receive the second user input performed by the user on the selected one of the interactive elements; and

in response to the second user input, provide for presentation to the user a second user interface different from the first user interface, the second user interface being associated with the selected one of the interactive elements.

9. The media of claim 8 , wherein the first user interface is associated with one or more of the following:

a home screen;

a lock screen;

a launch screen; or

an application.

10. The media of claim 8 , wherein the first user interface is associated with a lock screen, and wherein the second user interface is associated with an application associated with the selected one of the interactive elements.

11. The media of claim 10 , the software further operable when executed to:

in response to the second user input, provide for presentation to the user a password-entry interface, wherein the second user interface is provided for presentation to the user in response to the user entering a pre-determined password.

12. The media of claim 8 , wherein the animation comprises flipping the selected one of the interactive elements, the flipped interactive element comprising instructions to the user for providing input to the computing device.

13. The media of claim 8 , wherein the first user input comprises one or more of the following gestures:

tapping;

pressing;

sliding; or

swiping.

14. The media of claim 8 , wherein the first user input comprises tapping, and wherein the second user input comprises swiping.

15. A system comprising:

a computing device, the computing device comprising one or more processors; and

a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:

provide for presentation to a user a first user interface, the first user interface comprising a plurality of interactive elements;

receive a first user input selecting one of the interactive elements;

determine a level of user interaction with the selected one of the interactive elements, wherein the level of user interaction comprises an amount of time between the first user input and a previous user input selecting the one of the interactive elements;

in response to the first user input, provide for presentation to the user an animation associated with the selected one of the interactive elements;

determine that an amount of time between the first user input and the previous user input is below a predetermined threshold value;

responsive to the amount of time between the first user input and the previous user input being below the predetermined threshold value, determine to present instructions for the user to perform a second user input on the selected one of the interactive elements;

receive the second user input performed by the user on the selected one of the interactive elements; and

in response to the second user input, provide for presentation to the user a second user interface different from the first user interface, the second user interface being associated with the selected one of the interactive elements.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first user interface is associated with one or more of the following:

a home screen;

a lock screen;

a launch screen; or

an application.

17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the first user interface is associated with a lock screen, and wherein the second user interface is associated with an application associated with the selected one of the interactive elements.
