This scary AI recognizes passwords by the sound of your typing::British researchers have trained an artificial intelligence to recognize keystrokes by sound. A smartphone placed near a laptop served as the microphone.

That's why I have 7 different brands of switches all different types on my keyboard.

Wouldn't that make it easier for the AI?

But it's the rubber dome keys that make up his password keys. The mechs are just a distraction.

Not if you randomly jumple and replace the switches before typing each password

... or just use a password manager like a sensible person.

You're right but...which part of this exchange implied anyone trying to be sensible?

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, but if it was specifically trained on your particular keyboard.

Or if you want to go further, have foamed + plate mount + mixed lubed and unlubed switch + different color of switch on top of mixed brands of cherry mx, kailh, gateron, outemu and or lesser known/premium switches on single keyboard, the cost may be unusually high and need custom printed pcb.

Maybe you'll need to get use to typing on it as now comprised of various tactility and feedback feel.
