Every pattern you create generates a mathematical value -- based upon the line segments that are drawn. that mathematical value is used to salt your SiteKey value. Together the two values are used to generate a unique SHA-256 hash + any password requirements (add uppercase, add special char(s), maxlength).
Also, if you draw a pattern that has four segments, no matter which order you draw them in will generate the same mathematical value. That way if you draw a pattern in one order then later in another order you get the same mathematical value for the salt value. Thanks for asking

That's a really interesting tool, will definitely check that out :) How does the generation out of the pattern work?
