Abstract

A trigger instruction is received to set a password input interface. A setting of a term represented by a key is triggered. A selection or input of the term represented by the key on the password input interface is received. A first corresponding relationship between the key and the represented term is established. The password input interface is displayed. An electronic device sets terms, which are commonly used by a user to set a password, in a same password input interface. Thus, when a user password includes different types of terms, the user inputs the password without switching among different input interfaces to ensure that the user input the password conveniently.

5. The password input interface display method of claim 1 , further comprising establishing a second corresponding relationship between the key and the respective display content.

6. The password input interface display method of claim 5 , further comprising displaying the password input interface according to the second corresponding relationship between the key and the respective display content.

7. The password input interface display method of claim 1 , wherein the key arrangement information includes the total number of keys input by the user or a key arrangement form input by the user.

8. The password input interface display method of claim 7 , wherein the key arrangement form includes:

a form of a rectangular array;

a form of a rhombic array; or

a form of a circular array.

9. One or more non-transitory media storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

receiving a selection or input of a plurality of terms to be represented by a plurality of keys on a password input interface;

displaying a plurality of different display contents for a user to select as a respective display content of a key of the plurality of keys for a term of the plurality of terms to be represented by the key of the plurality of keys in response to receiving the selection or input of the term of the plurality of terms, the plurality of different display contents to be selected as the respective display content of the key including a picture that is inconsistent with the term represented by the key, another term that is different from the term represented by the key, and a blank that is inconsistent with the term represented by the key;

receiving a selection of the respective display content of the key among the plurality of different display content from the user;

establishing a first corresponding relationship between the plurality of keys and the plurality of terms;

receiving key arrangement information input by the user;

displaying the plurality of keys on the password input interface according to the key arrangement information;

determining a total number of keys displayed on the password input interface according to a total number of keys input by the user, the total number of keys displayed on the password input interface being greater than or equal to the total number of keys input by the user;

receiving name information input by the user;
