| Feb 23, 2017 at 13:36 | comment | added | Theraot | This can also be signaling behaviour. Clueless users are can be convinced that the web page have security measures much easier by using something like this than by other less visible measures. | |
| Feb 23, 2017 at 13:28 | comment | added | Simon Richter | It is effective against "unprivileged" keyloggers though, i.e. mobile apps that use wireless signal strength or accelerometer information to deduce touch position information. Many apps have sufficient privileges to query either or both, and this is a common threat in the wild. | |
