@george_brata Merci! I would be curious to hear how helpful you think typing four words are instead of SMS codes (from your mobile phone to your laptop).

This looks like a no-brainer for virtually any company that's offering 2FA. Excited to see the product live so I won't have to go find my phone and deal with those annoying texts or Authy while browsing from my desktop. Congrats folks!

Interesting idea, are there any cases that can result in a false negative?
Raul Popa
@slava_bobrov like with any biometric based solution there is a chance to get a false negative (also called false reject), as well as a false positive (false accept), but these are very rare, we're using a state of the art typing biometrics authentication engine developed over the last 4 years with really small potential false matches. The solution itself uses SMS 2FA codes as RoT (Root of Trust), therefore it already starts with some weaknesses. To summarize: like all other biometrics, and like the standard SMS OTP solution, this is also not perfect, that's why we only recommed it to be used as a second factor.

How do you handle swipe typing?
Raul Popa
@wisepythagoras Verify typing verification doesn't work on mobiles yet (at all), we just send the SMS code on mobiles at this time. However TypingDNA has developed other technologies that handle mobile typing, but swipe typing is a thing we didn't yet solve publicly. We have a work in progress there. It's a quite hard problem to solve, probably will not have that accuracy of the standard typing. One thing a mobile integration of our Authentication API can do today is to ask people to type in a standard way or display a custom keyboard that has swiping and predictive typing blocked. Does this answers your question?

Thank you for the reply! Indeed it's an interesting problem.
