Finger swipe instead of password

So, I like having the security of requiring a password or pin to unlock my Lumia. The thought of a stranger picking up my phone and immediately having access to all of my contacts, my facebook account, email account, etc. gives me the creeps. I realize that inputting a short pin # to unlock my phone is not a big deal, but I have seen some of my iPhone friends with an app that allows them to use a particular finger swipe to unlock their phone in lieu of a pin #. (An image of this sort of thing is below.) Does anyone know of an equivalent app for WP8?

I don't know how you can do that on an iPhone besides jailbreaking it.

But I do hope WP adds more unlock services, like face, pattern, and letters.

Android has this. It's very convenient and, in my opinion, quicker and easier than a PIN. It would be a welcome inclusion in future WP8 updates (but then again, so many other things would be as well <sigh>).

I don't want the finger swipe for WP8, but they should definitely add picture password support! They already have it, just implement!

As others have said I think they should just have picture password. Its unique, quick and less predictable that a swipe or pin password.
