Hey PH! 🖖 I’m super excited to launch this brand new, free, unlimited, improved, and easier to integrate developer version of our state of art typing biometrics authentication technology. 👉 Who we are: We’re a proud Techstars NYC’18 alum, recently backed by Gradient Ventures (Google AI focused fund). More: https://techcrunch.com/2020/01/0... ⚡ Vision: We believe typing is quickly becoming the most preferred method for communication, and our mission is to improve security, UX and add value everywhere people type. 🥇 Previously won Product of the day: Some of you may remember we won POD previously with the TypingDNA Authenticator, a free Authenticator that works inside the Chrome browser and uses typing patterns to secure TOTPs. More: https://www.producthunt.com/post... 🚀 History: When we started TypingDNA in 2016, typing biometrics was niche -- untested in the wild, mainly attractive to researchers and academics. Even after participating in Techstars, it was clear that some recognized the potential of analyzing typing behavior for authentication purposes, but the skepticism typical of any new technology was also around. It’s all changed. Our core technology has matured, been iterated, and is now deployed in contexts where security matters most. As I type this, people are verifying their identity with our typing biometrics to access critically sensitive data and even take their exams (hello, 2020). Our Series A allowed us to expand our team and build new things, but we still believe that typing biometrics hasn’t realized it’s potential -- there are barriers to entry that prevent typing biometrics from being deployed everywhere there is a keyboard, as we dream it will be. 🔥 Here’s what we’ve done: - We built a new low-code API that removes all complexity and puts it back on our side. Integrations now rival any authentication provider in terms of simplicity and scalability. - We released a new Developer plan. This plan is designed to make our technology accessible to everyone, and this isn’t some ‘light’ plan. We offer unlimited authentications and unlimited end-users, no card needed. - We made it free! Feel free to ask me and the TypingDNA team anything here!

@raulpopa @roy5 thanks for the offer but we have our own in-house resources for that

@sebastian_maraloiu what's the most exciting part for you? we, @TypingDNA, can't seem to agree, for us everything is exciting (obviously :)), so a 2nd opinion could help a lot.

@afsaral85995491 would you use it for your apps?
Daniel Rotaru
The unlimited part from the clip sounds pretty great. Good job, guys! :)

@daniel_rotaru, thank you! The idea is for this not to be a barrier for integrations. Especially considering it's a new technology.
Lisa Popovici
Amazing job, guys! Can't believe this is free!

@lisapopovici Thanks! We wanted to make it free so that more people get to use the technology.

@dragos_bulugean please let us know what you think of it once you try it out

Very cool concept and demo. But kinda useless when we (me) use password managers to autofill fields or generate passwords, in more than 90% of the cases :P
Kyle Hunt

@frexuz Legitimate point for the username/password scenario -- but consider this: with our SDK's, developers can target any input form on their web page for us to record typing patterns. It isn't restricted to login (user/pass) fields, this is why we thrive in 2/MFA scenarios. After autofilling your user/pass, you are typically confronted with a 2FA step-up if you have it enabled in an app. This might mean you have to get your phone out, or check your email and do some copy / pasting. If that app took advantage of typing biometrics instead, all you would have to do is type some words to confirm your identity.
Kristian Gerardsson
@kyle_hunt1 ah, so only as a replacement to the 2FA step, that makes sense! (In the auth scenario)
Kyle Hunt
Maker
@frexuz Indeed, in the autofill scenario! But our API is flexible and doesn't impose any restrictions on where developers put us in their authentication flow -- the choice is really theirs and made based on what makes sense for their users. Many target login/pass fields to get 2 factors as users type their credentials instead of the usual one, but others may use it in place of a second factor after signing in (for example, if a device is not recognized). Thanks for the good question

I do hope that you seriously consider internally naming this package TypingRNA :) Great news, guys! Can't wait to play with it.

@carlosleisantos I agree, I hope to see more people using it, especially developers should try it out. Thanks for the nice words.
