<p>That's not a format, it's a user interface ("the user is
presented...") Unicode doesn't standardize user interfaces.
Restricting the permissible alphabet to emoji is just about as
bad/annoying (for many users) as restricting it to ASCII or
Cyrillic or whatever, except that it's more evenly hard on
everyone.</p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; display: inline !important;">There could be a password input format that is both script-independent and language-independent and platform-independent where the end user is presented with a display of a, say, 8 by 8 grid of emoji </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; display: inline !important;">and the end user needs to have a password by clicking on of at least eight of them in a sequence, with the only restriction being that no emoji shall be used twice in immediate succession, this to avoid accidental double clicking causing problems.</span></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; display: inline !important;">The emoji chosen to be used in the format would need to be chosen carefully so as to be clearly distinct from each other whether the display is in colour or in monochrome and taking account of colour vision issues (so not both RED APPLE and GREEN APPLE), non-violent, respectful to cultures and religions, and so that the format could be used both in left to right situations and in right to left situations without ambiguity if characters are mirrored horizontally.</span></p>

<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; display: inline !important;">If the format were published by Unicode Inc. it could become widely used around the world in some situations.</span></p>
