Second factor security using keyboard biometrics can help assist in eliminating the releveance of a weak vs. a strong password. It should not matter if the user's password was made up of 3 simple letters only, or a 10 character mix of letters, numbers, symbols and case. Like fingerprints, we all produce a unique keystroke when typing. If this second layer of security has been properly trained into the system, a set of unique patterns will be available for comparison against new entries. Only one individual should be able to duplicate the keystroke pattern with sufficient confidence that the system would authenticate. The simplicity or complexity of the password would not matter, which in turn alleviates a number of usability and password management issues.
