TypingDNA
Typing-biometrics authentication for phone-free 2FA, account-sharing prevention, API integrations, and continuous endpoint checks.
About TypingDNA
TypingDNA provides AI-based authentication and fraud detection based on typing biometrics. Verify 2FA asks a user to type a four-word phrase, allowing workforce sign-in without phones, security fobs, SMS codes, or browser permissions. The standard integration works without an identity and access management platform, while the Enterprise license offers OIDC integration for Okta. The Authentication API supports advanced implementations through a RESTful API, dashboard credentials, and a documented Node.js demo. TypingDNA also offers ActiveLock for continuous endpoint authentication and real-time monitoring of company computers. The product fits workflows that need less reliance on possession factors or want to detect account sharing. Deployment still requires API or IAM integration, typing-pattern enrollment, and planning around user limits. Starter covers 100 users per month for free; Pro starts at $1 per user per month; Enterprise uses custom pricing for expanded support, SLA, deployment, or integration requirements.
Best for
Best use cases
During workforce sign-in, an employee types a short phrase to complete a second-factor check without switching to another device.
When several people reuse one SaaS login, Verify 2FA compares typing behavior so the shared credentials alone do not complete authentication.
In a custom application, a developer configures API credentials, installs the Node.js demo dependencies, and tests registration and authentication locally.
Compare before choosing
Unlike SMS codes or phone prompts, Verify 2FA uses a phrase typed on the existing keyboard and does not require a separate device.
The Standard Verify 2FA integration works without an IAM platform, while OIDC integration for Okta is limited to the Enterprise license.
Starter supports 100 users each month for free; Pro expands to unlimited users from $1 per user per month, and Enterprise is custom-priced.
Features
Phone-free workforce authentication
Employees and contractors type a short on-screen phrase as a second factor, avoiding a personal phone, security fob, or SMS code during sign-in.
Account-sharing prevention
Verify 2FA compares how a person types so a shared username and password alone are not enough to reproduce the enrolled typing pattern.
Authentication API integration
Developers can add typing-behavior authentication through the RESTful Authentication API, with dashboard credentials and a Node.js demo workflow for onboarding.
Pros
- Phone-free 2FA uses the existing keyboard, reducing dependence on personal phones, security fobs, SMS codes, and browser permissions.
- A free Starter tier covers up to 100 users each month without a credit card, lowering the cost of a small pilot or initial integration.
- Standard, OIDC, and RESTful API paths support workforce IAM deployments as well as custom application authentication workflows.
Cons
- Applications serving more than 100 users per month need Pro pricing that starts at $1 per user per month or a custom Enterprise agreement.
- OIDC integration is limited to the Enterprise license, so Okta-based deployments require the custom-priced tier.
- Custom deployments, full availability commitments, higher support levels, and non-standard typing recorders require an Enterprise subscription.
