Your tap style as a biometric login key on the site!

Your tap style as a biometric login key on the site!

Two-factor authentication is definitely desirable protection for your online accounts. But to enable this option, you must always have your phone with you to receive login codes.

The problem arises when you do not receive an SMS, or it takes a long time to arrive. That's why applications for offline code generation such as Google Authenticator have been created. But even with that application, the process itself takes longer than when you just log in to the site without two-level protection.

To find a compromise between login speed and security, a group of developers launched a start-up called "TypingDNA".

What TypingDNA does is "understand" your typing style, which it uses as a key to two-step authentication.

Your tap style as a biometric login key on the site!

How's that?

It's simple: TypingDNA recognizes your typing style (something like handwriting as you type) by AI detecting how long you hold a key, how long it takes you from one key to another, and so on. It then uses this "knowledge" as a key to display one-time login codes from the Google Authenticator application.

So, if you enter a username and password with your fingers and TypingDNA remembers it, someone else will not be able to log in, even though they have your login details, because they do not have your "handwriting" typing. I don't have to mention that copy-paste doesn't work.

TypingDNA is available as an add-on for the Chrome web browser for free, but you have a maximum of 1,000 requests (it doesn't say whether monthly or total, but the subscriptions are monthly, so I guess 1,000 per month).

For this to work, you need to have Google Authenticator is installed on your phone to generate the codes, and the TypingDNA plugin needs to be connected to use those codes.

How's that?

Now that you have connected the two services, you no longer have to open the Google Authenticator application and type the code when logging in to a site. The TypingDNA plugin will immediately offer you these ready-to-copy codes if it recognizes your typing pattern when logging in.

Basically, you have strong two-level protection through the Google Authenticator service, but also easier and faster login on the site with the TypingDNA plugin - perfect.

It may sound complicated, but when you install the add-on, you will have a guide on how to connect and use it all, and if you can't do it, you can see more details on their website.

If you just want to test how TypingDNA works, you can do so on the Demo page on their site - give it a try.

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

By Administrator
Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.
