Passwordless authentication for the browser
npm install keystroke-dynamicsA modern, passwordless authentication system that uses keystroke dynamics (typing patterns) to authenticate users. Experience the future of secure login where your typing rhythm becomes your password.
!Demo !Browser Support !License !Security
Keystroke dynamics analyzes the unique patterns in how you type - the timing between keystrokes, how long you hold keys down, and the rhythm of your typing. Just like your fingerprint, your typing pattern is unique to you!
- 🚫 No Passwords Required - Type your username/email naturally to login
- 🛡️ Bank-Level Security - AES-256 encryption with customizable thresholds
- 🎯 High Accuracy - 95%+ authentication success rate after training
- 🔄 Smart Fallback - Automatic password backup after 3 failed attempts
- 📱 Cross-Platform - Works on desktop and mobile browsers
- 🏠 Privacy First - All data stays on your device, no servers required
- ⚡ Lightning Fast - Sub-second authentication
- 🎨 Easy Integration - Drop-in solution for any website

Here's a fully working login system:
`javascript

constructor() {
this.auth = new KeystrokeDynamics();
this.attempts = 0;
this.maxAttempts = 3;
this.setupEventListeners();
}
async init(masterPassword, username) {
await this.auth.initialize(masterPassword, username);
this.auth.setThreshold(0.7); // 70% similarity required
}
setupEventListeners() {
const usernameInput = document.getElementById('username');
const loginBtn = document.getElementById('loginBtn');
usernameInput.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
if (e.target.value.length === 1 && !this.auth.isRecording) {
this.auth.startRecording();
this.showStatus('Recording your typing pattern...');
}
});
loginBtn.addEventListener('click', () => this.handleLogin());
}
async handleLogin() {
try {
const result = await this.auth.verify();
if (result.isAuthentic && result.similarity >= 0.7) {
this.loginSuccess();
} else {
this.attempts++;
if (this.attempts >= this.maxAttempts) {
this.showPasswordField();
} else {
this.showRetryMessage(result.similarity);
}
}
} catch (error) {
this.handleError(error);
}
}
loginSuccess() {
this.showStatus('✅ Login successful!', 'success');
// Redirect or update UI
window.location.href = '/dashboard';
}
showPasswordField() {
document.getElementById('passwordField').style.display = 'block';
this.showStatus('⚠️ Biometric authentication failed. Please enter password.', 'warning');
}
showRetryMessage(similarity) {
const attemptsLeft = this.maxAttempts - this.attempts;
const similarityPercent = Math.round(similarity * 100);
this.showStatus(
❌ Similarity: ${similarityPercent}% (need 70%). ${attemptsLeft} attempts left.,
'error'

}
}
// Initialize when page loads
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', async () => {
const login = new SecureLogin();
// Check if user exists, otherwise set up new user
if (!login.auth.isReady()) {
await login.init('secure-master-password', 'john@example.com');
// Show training interface
}
});
`
`javascript
// Choose your security level
auth.setThreshold('low'); // 60% - Relaxed security
auth.setThreshold('medium'); // 70% - Balanced (recommended)
auth.setThreshold('high'); // 80% - Strict security
auth.setThreshold('max'); // 90% - Maximum security
// Or use custom threshold
auth.setThreshold(0.75); // 75% similarity required
`
`javascript
// Minimum samples for training
const minSamples = 3; // Quick setup
const recommended = 5; // Balanced accuracy
const maxSamples = 10; // Best accuracy
// Check training status
console.log(Samples collected: ${result.sampleCount});Accuracy: ${Math.round(result.similarity * 100)}%
console.log();`

`
#### initialize(masterPassword, phrase)`
Set up the system for a new user.javascript`
await auth.initialize('secure123', 'user@example.com');
#### startRecording(targetElement?)`
Begin capturing keystroke data.javascript`
auth.startRecording(inputElement); // Bind to specific input
auth.startRecording(); // Capture globally
#### addSample()`
Add a training sample to improve accuracy.javascript`
auth.startRecording();
// User types...
await auth.addSample();
#### verify()`
Verify current keystroke pattern.javascript`
const result = await auth.verify();
console.log(result);
/*
{
isAuthentic: true,
similarity: 0.85,
threshold: 0.70,
sampleCount: 5
}
*/
#### setThreshold(level)`
Configure security level.javascript`
auth.setThreshold(0.8); // Numeric (0.0-1.0)
auth.setThreshold('medium'); // String level
`javascript`
auth.isReady() // System initialized?
auth.isRecording // Currently capturing?
auth.phrase // Training phrase
auth.threshold // Current threshold
`javascript`
// Lazy load for better performance
class LazyAuth {
async getAuth() {
if (!this.auth) {
this.auth = new KeystrokeDynamics();
await this.auth.initialize(password, phrase);
}
return this.auth;
}
}
`javascript`
// Clean up resources
auth.clearSignatures(); // Remove old training data
auth.reset(); // Complete system reset
`javascript`
try {
await auth.verify();
} catch (error) {
switch (error.code) {
case 'NO_DATA':
console.log('No keystrokes captured');
break;

`$3
`javascript
// High-security transactions
auth.setThreshold('max'); // 90% similarity
const result = await auth.verify();
if (result.similarity > 0.9) {
allowTransaction();
}

`javascript
// Employee access control
const employee = await auth.authenticate(employeeId);

`🔍 Troubleshooting
$3
❌ "No keystroke data recorded"
`javascript
// Solution: Ensure startRecording() is called
auth.startRecording(inputElement);
`❌ "IndexedDB not supported"
`javascript
// Solution: Check browser compatibility
if (!window.indexedDB) {
showUnsupportedBrowserMessage();
}
`❌ "Low similarity scores"
`javascript
// Solution: More training or lower threshold
if (result.similarity < 0.6) {
suggestMoreTraining();
// OR
auth.setThreshold('low');
}
`❌ "Web Crypto API not available"
`javascript
// Solution: Ensure HTTPS in production
if (location.protocol !== 'https:' && location.hostname !== 'localhost') {
console.error('HTTPS required for production');
}
`$3
`javascript
// Reduce sample size for faster processing
const maxSamples = 5; // Instead of 10// Use web workers for heavy computation (advanced)
const worker = new Worker('crypto-worker.js');
`📈 Analytics & Monitoring
`javascript
// Track authentication metrics
const metrics = {
attempts: 0,
successes: 0,
averageSimilarity: 0,
trainingAccuracy: 0
};// Log authentication attempts
auth.onVerify = (result) => {
metrics.attempts++;
if (result.isAuthentic) metrics.successes++;
// Send to analytics
analytics.track('biometric_auth', {
success: result.isAuthentic,
similarity: result.similarity,
threshold: result.threshold
});
};
