While it sounds like a good idea-- when I think of normal office-drone meat servos not being able to even start Outlook in 5 of 5 attempts, counting on them to actually enter their password with the same fingers, same cadence, etc.. more than once.. well. I'd be pretty amazed :-)
What about for geeks? Like for sysadmins/security types/high security applications? I've been on some networks where passwd requirements get pretty silly-- things like 12char min, combo of 2ea (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) -- and the harder these get to create and remember (and type), the more problems there are. So I guess I'd be down on "something you know" and "the way you do something you know" as two factor auth. Biometrics aren't great but it is tough to screw up your own fingerprint etc etc. If it wasn't for pesky humans it'd be a great idear.. -matt On 1/19/10, james mattson <[email protected]> wrote: > > You do have to type your new password in multiple times so it will learn > your cadence. > > Ps don't cut my finger off for my banking info, I'm broke. > > On Jan 19, 2010 7:40 AM, "Chris Blazek" <[email protected]> wrote: > > What would happen if the user changed their password? > The program would have to relearn how you type it again.
