- detaro 4y agohow does that improve security?
- herodoturtle 4y agooh venture a guess, would you?
- mtmail 4y agoInstead of readers having to guess, it might be better to improve the original claim of better security.
- detaro 4y agosure, my guess is it doesn't.
- herodoturtle 4y agoyour accepted impasse bores me, unless it's a challenge
- detaro 4y agoIt is a challenge to present an argument why it helps, yes. I can only think of counter-arguments.
- jqpabc123 4y agoBiometrics based on keypress timing.
- herodoturtle 4y agoif I were Denzel I'd say, "My man."
- detaro 4y agoand doing what with those biometrics to improve security?
- jqpabc123 4y agoThe same as any biometric --- use it to validate the user. If the input falls outside of an acceptable pattern, ask for additional confirmation.
- herodoturtle 4y ago#detaro2 it improves security by conditioning impatient users to focus on their input
- neo1908 4y agoHow does focusing on one's input improve security? If I type my credentials incorrectly but really focus on each key press... the service will not accept the login... because the credentials are wrong.
- herodoturtle 4y ago> If I type my credentials incorrectly but really focus on each key press Impressive.
- neo1908 4y agoThanks. I focused on every key press. Please actually explain your idea. Nobody is interested in trying to figure out what you're thinking
- code_lettuce 4y agoHow would this work with password managers like lastpass?
- mtmail 4y agoI don't see how it improves security. Maybe the idea is not well enough expressed.
