What would happen if the user changed their password? The program would have to relearn how you type it again. Depending on how often you change your password, that might be pretty tough to implement I would think. I would be afraid that would give people a reason not to change their password as frequently as they should be doing. A fingerprint scanner might be a better solution for a two factor authentication. Just my 2 cent. Chris On Tue, Jan 19, 2010 at 5:50 AM, Robin Wood <dninja at gmail.com> wrote:
Has anyone done, or heard about, any research on monitoring the cadence of someone entering their password and linking it to a login process? What I mean by this is that because I know my PC login and I type it every day I tend to type it in a set way at a set speed, if someone managed to get hold of the password they wouldn't be able to enter it in the same way so wouldn't be able to login. It is two factor authentication based on what you know, the password, and what you have (?) the muscle memory of how you enter it.
