    I mean there’s a lot of ifs here. Is your microphone next to your keyboard? Is someone on the calling attempting this with mature software? Do you they know you are typing your password or something else sensitive?

    I would imagine passwords are harder to pin down, assuming it’s like cryptography. If someone types three sentences that’s a lot of coherent data to work with. If someone types 1234BossSucks! then from a cryptography perspective, going to be a low chance to understand.

    My I’ll informed two cents.

    Edit:

    Reading more of the bot summary, and yeah, this sounds more like cryptography. If the microphone can hear your key strokes, data like the volume, timbre, overall rhythm, etc, can be collected and mapped to possible text.
