The Vision Pro uses 3D avatars on calls and for streaming. These researchers used eye tracking to work out the passwords and PINs people typed with their avatars.

This makes perfect sense. The only way around it would be to randomize the location of the digits/letters, and I’m sure people would throw a fit if that was the case. Still it should be an option.
Or just use a f***ing password manager?! (Unlocked with retinaID same as with faceID on iPhone)
We are not in 2010 anymore…
Or just not show people what you’re typing.
Don’t if it’s a good idea or not but the solution is this case should be to have something like stars passwords or randomized eye movements. Artificial movements basically
Couldn’t you theoretically do the same thing by tracking someone’s eye movements on video chat, if they look at their keyboard while typing?
Yes and no, it’s not really as accurate, 1 - if the guy do not watch his keyboard at all. 2 - if the guy is watching a bit his keyboard but only to the approximate place of the letter and remember the position after. BUT this could be counter by training an AI to extrapolate the results to get something more precise
