At TypingDNA we recognize people by the way they type. Apps can now enable passive two-factor authentication (2FA) by looking at how people type. This translates to happier users and negative churn.
I started TypingDNA after years of playing with machine learning for side projects, user behavior analysis and other pattern recognition problems. When I discovered that typing biometrics technology was really promising but not ready for production yet I felt an urge to get into it and make it work.
