         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:
 prompt the user to select the first picture from the first plurality of pictures by providing a first audible instruction to the user, the first audible instruction being associated with an animated figure.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:
 prompt the user in the second step to select the identifying picture by providing a second audible instruction to the user.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the user interface comprises at least one of a mouse, a keyboard, a touch-screen, and a controller. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a memory storage device for storing a database that includes the plurality of user accounts, each user account of the plurality of user accounts including personal identification data corresponding to a member of the group; and   a camera in communication with the processor and configured to acquire a picture of each user, the processor configured to store each picture of each user with the corresponding user account in the database.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the processor is remotely connected to the memory storage device. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the processor, the user interface, and the display comprise at least one of a personal computer and a mobile device. 
     
     
         12 . A system for logging a user into a corresponding user account from a plurality of user accounts, the user being one member of a group, the system comprising:
 a processor;   a user interface in communication with the processor; and   a display in communication with the processor, wherein the processor is programmed to:
 display a first plurality of pictures, the first plurality of pictures including a picture of each member of the group; 
 receive a first input from the user interface selecting a first picture corresponding to the user from the first plurality of pictures to provide a first step; 
 display the first picture corresponding to the user after the first step; 
 receive a second input from the user interface selecting an identifying picture to confirm an identity of the user to provide a second step; and 
 log the user into the corresponding user account if the first input selecting the first picture corresponding to the user in the first step corresponds to the second input selecting the identifying picture. 
   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:
 direct the user back to the first step if the first input selecting the first picture corresponding to the user does not correspond to the second input selecting the identifying picture.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:
 display a second plurality of pictures after the first step, the second plurality of pictures including the first picture corresponding to the user selected in the first step.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the processor is further programmed to:
 prompt the user in the second step to select the identifying picture by providing a second audible instruction to the user.   
     
     
         16 . A method for logging a user into a corresponding user account on at least one of a computer and mobile device including a user interface, the user being one member of a group, the method comprising the steps of:
 displaying a first plurality of pictures on a display, the first plurality of pictures including a picture of each member of the group;   providing a first step by configuring the user interface to allow the user to provide a first input by selecting a first picture corresponding to the user from the first plurality of pictures;   displaying the first picture corresponding to the user after the first step;   providing a second step by configuring the user interface to allow the user to provide a second input to confirm an identity of the user by selecting an identifying picture; and   logging the user into the corresponding user account if the first input selecting the first picture corresponding to the user in the first step corresponds to the second input selecting the identifying picture.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the first picture corresponding to the user selected from the first step and the identifying picture selected from the second step are displayed on the computer while the user is logged into the corresponding user account. 
     
     
         18 .
