Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for adding entropy to key generation on a mobile device are provided herein. A method includes generating a prompt via a computing device interface in connection with an authentication request to access a protected resource associated with the computing device; processing input cryptographic information entered via the computing device interface in response to the prompt against a pre-determined set of cryptographic information, wherein said pre-determined set of cryptographic information comprises one or more input elements and one or more interface manipulation measures associated with the one or more input elements; and resolving the authentication request based on said processing.
