absolutely possible, they can hack your password by the noise your monitor makes as the letters show up on the screen :shiftyeyes:

There was a guy that made like 90 switches sound exactly the same once

I wonder if it's possible like that

Um.. definitly


But it has less to do with the absolute position of the sound..

For example, you wouldn't listen for  s then u then p then e then r..

you would listen for general position like left and right hand,   THEN you would listen for Rhythm


(left sound) s........ (right sound) u..p........ (left sound) e.r.

The periods represent relative delay..  notice up and er  would have relatively little delay



haha..  This could make for a good project for that guy doing a school project.. someone message him.





HERE's the thing though..    You have to  be a very good typer,  for your password to be cracked in this way..


If you're a hunt and pecker, with less mastery of the keyboard arts.  getting a pattern match from your typing would be far more difficult.

Yes. Each key has a different tone kind of like when you dial numbers on on a phone.
Such artisan, many caps, very keyboard.

Always searching for Bro caps!
