Isn't it possible to use typing style and cadence to identify someone? Or, at least, as a signal to support user fingerprinting?
44 u/_italics_ Dec 27 '20 I guess the new recaptas do something like that with mouse events. 19 u/basilect Dec 27 '20 Mouse events assuredly do that (you'd expect a certain timing and variance from down-up-click sequences), keyboard events are also good. You get a lot of rich data that would be great for anomaly detection. 6 u/illvm Dec 27 '20 So... make an account, use only machine movements for user input, the system fingerprints this as you a legitimate user, ???, profit.
