This seems to work @ 300ms on Keytrack but they were able to get high confidence @ 200ms for me. The Experimental port on Mozilla Addons does not work at all for me however, any chance you can finally port this to Firefox, now that they have a decent WebExtension API? | |

No, as of 2017 Nov, all the "biometric" can over come this tiny trick with over 90% confidence. Even 1000 dwell/delay would not help at all. | |

I've been using this extension for quite a while, both in Firefox and Chrome. It's great. | |

With the add-on disabled, converged on a green policy for the id; during testing of the trained id, needed to set add-on to 500 each dwell/delay to confuse the tested id to red reliably. Full training with the add-on enabled at 500 dwell/delay each still converged on a green id policy; also, it still recognized the id during testing with or without the add-on enabled at 500. Full training with add-on at 1000 each converged on a red policy during training, yellow policy during testing, yellow or red identification; during testing, did not matter with or without add-on Unfortunately it seems the only thing that confuses the app is the add-on slowing down my slow connection/processor so much that it cannot get any timing data off the keyboard at all due to the latencies. | |

Man, I must be really easy to profile because I turned my settings up to 5000 for both gap and dwell and I am still consistently getting >97%. Actually, I'm not really sure if the plugin is actually doing anything because I don't notice any kind of delay, even with these really high settings. Of course, if I consciously make myself type in an unusual fashion, I get < 10%, but then it's not the plugin, it's me. On the plus side, the plug-in doesn't seem to be causing any determent to my online experience, so I don't want to be too harsh with my rating. I love the idea... | |
