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.

Wouldn't it only be trained on a specific keyboard though, as anyone in the Mechanical keyboard community knows every keyboard sounds different. And that doesn't even account for age, condition(dust, how many crisps have you eaten over your keyboard, etc).

So I highly doubt this could be effective beyond possibility being trained to work with a certain type of laptop. 16 inch MacBook Pros for example.

You can just solve the problem altogether by using a password manager with a 2fa dongle like a nitro or yubi key
