I have often wonder how many passwords do security cameras capture when people type then on their phones or laptops, also stuff like one-time codes or credit card numbers and so on.

- albert_e 3y agoLooks like the tone of my post above was misread. I see photos being automatically OCRed by default now ... in Google Photos, in Microsoft SharePoint etc. I am just imagining that in future a GPT Vision processing of all videos ever captured might become similarly prevalent (and cheap). Which would open up a very easy attack vector / leakage of secrets ... like phone unlock pins and passwords. I am in the same boat as the comment I replied to -- concerned about new risks that new tech might bring to the table. My post was just "extrapolating" the risk to a larger scale -- not just one video clip being manually decoded, but all footage automatically spitting out secrets as simply as a Closed Caption / video transcript of today.
- ben_w 3y agoWhat frame rate do security cameras run at these days? Last time I saw genuine recorded footage was 1999, and that looked like 1 fps.
- selcuka 3y agoThat's about the speed average typist types. /s

- mattigames 3y agoTyping numbers or passwords for people over 30, I bet is around half a second, and for people over 60 one finger per second sound about right.
- tialaramex 3y agoOne time codes are very short lived and for many systems as their name suggests they are single use. So, knowing 8490 worked for me is often entirely useless immediately, and if not it'll be useless within say 10 minutes. You might think if you collect enough of them you'll be able to guess the next one. In principle that's true, but for all real systems you're fighting an actual cryptographic hash in there somewhere, so it's like you decided second pre-image attack on the hash (much harder than collision) wasn't difficult enough, you want hard mode.
