I feel that the idea has some merit. It has occurred to me on a few separate occasions that the pattern of my keystrokes when entering passwords is highly consistent after a brief period of acclimation to the new password. I could easily see the pattern of keystrokes being used as an additional verification factor. Much as with other forms of verification having a biological basis, I can foresee a few potential issues (e.g. the voice recognition system at my firm doesn't recognize me when I have a "cowde"). For example, what happens when I get a new keyboard, or log in from a terminal with a different keyboard?
*Yes, Ron Paul is nuts. For example, how exactly is he going to move a $7 trillion economy back to the gold standard when there's less than $3 trillion in gold on the planet? I think that's being a bit pedantic. Yes, Ron Paul has consistently expressed opposition to fiat currency. However, when asked pointedly about the gold standard, he has stated that the currency ought to be backed by real assets, whether they be gold or some other reasonably monetized commodity.
