The backspace key on most keyboards has a very distinct sound. Not to mention it's positioning means timing will be noticeably different as well. Might be better off mixing in a few meaningless modifier keys (press Ctrl, Alt or Caps Lock).
- sigjuice 10y agoI usually type a long string of gibberish, sneak in ctrl-U at some point and then enter my actual password
- idanoeman 10y agoUnless the gibberish is the same every time, the repeated sound of your password will still be parsable from a long enough sound recording of your computer usage.
- sigjuice 10y agoThe gibberish is unlikely to ever be the same.
- jaredsohn 10y agoI think it is more accurate to say that the gibberish is unlikely to _always_ be the same. I think one can tend to create similar gibberish over time. I've worked on a system where I needed to do a new signup every time I wanted to test a feature and I've run into issues where the gibberish I entered matched an account that I had previously created.
