Description from store Prevents behavioral profiling by randomizing the rate at which characters reach the DOM. v2.7 Updated 30/10/19: Updated to reflect changes in the industry and ensure every type of input is protected. v2.5 Updated 20/08/16: Fixed lag caused by numerous textarea inputs on a given page. Increased default "dwell" and "gap" times to 200ms. Tested against BehavioSec 20/08/16 with a 0.02% (RED) result. Notice: This is a proof-of-concept plugin, following research by two independent security professionals (Paul Moore & Per Thorsheim). See https://paul.reviews/behavioral-profiling-the-password-you-cant-change/ for more details.

  • (2020-07-01) Sylvain: 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?
  • (2018-06-12) It's great stuff, super interesting.
  • (2017-11-20) mytransceiver: 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.
  • (2017-05-25) Franco GR: I've been using this extension for quite a while, both in Firefox and Chrome. It's great.
  • (2016-07-30) Puppette Master: 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.
  • (2016-06-07) David McCarty: 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...
  • (2016-05-04) Andre S.: i like dit. tx
  • (2016-02-06) Zaki Manian: Would be much better with a url whitelist
  • (2015-10-28) J Locky: Works like a charm also directly hits the page in way boosting my paging speed
  • (2015-09-28) Andrés Aguilar: me parece una exclente extención, pero si saben darle un buen uso :)
  • (2015-08-20) Roul Terra: Worthy add-on towards ensuring a bit more anonymity in the world of billions of personal data points!
  • (2015-08-05) Dwell and gap times should be random for each keystroke
  • (2015-07-30) Woo Hoo: Works, however, the dwell and gap times should be random for each website instance
  • (2015-07-29) Mark Hansen: As the three one-star reviews note, yes, it does seem a bit wonky with the default settings. I upped mine to 100 dwell, 120 gap, and consistently get <50% accuracy on that site now. It works great; the default settings are just a bit too much within normal variation.
  • (2015-07-29) David Lopes: It seems that if you thinker with the global settings you get a lower %
  • (2015-07-28) Per Thorsheim: Works just as intended! :-)
