### "A wonderful technology "

August 30, 2022

4.0

Pros

How easy it was to install, set-up and use for my software projects.

Cons

I wish that the product had more documentation and notifications to help users understand what is happening behind the curtain.

Reason for choosing TypingDNA ActiveLock

It was recommended through my favorite coding YouTube channel.

Look at the log files (see file location in our user guide) to learn more about typing pattern characteristics (e.g., speed), training strength, authentication score, authentication result, and other details.

### "Unusual approach to common problem"

August 17, 2022

5.0

We will try to implement company health check, but as a user that has software installed, i am satisfied. I even forget it even exists, but if someone tries to use my laptop, all of us gets reminded not to do that, as its company computer, not a personal/shareable one :)

Pros

Its zero touch, i don't see it, o don't feel it, unless i try to type with one hand, then it just locks my screen and says someone was using my computer :)

Cons

some quality of life improvements was needed, but they included that in next update. Maybe some insights/dashboard for user could be nice

Thank you, Dainius, for using our continuous endpoint authentication solution. The app produces local logs (check user guide for specific file location) where you find information about matching scores and other activities. Our commercial version easily aggregates those logs and can display a dashboard using desired SIEM such as DataDog, Grafana, and others.

### "TypingDNA ActiveLock A unique concept that certainly will be attractive to many users nowadays "

July 16, 2023

3.0

my experience with TypingDNA activelock hasn't lived up to my expectations yet as i haven't yet been able to use it because of its training period

Pros

TypingDNA caught my attention immediately its able to replace MFA / 2FA with typing biometrics. I downloaded activelock which is able to constantly check if the correct person is using the device my verifying the typing biometrics is correct and locks the device if its not

Cons

activelocks training period is too long for infrequent use, i installed it on my machine and its still 48% trained after at least a week

### "Excellent product"

July 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

I use ActiveLock for a few weeks already and worked flawlessly. It was very intuitive and easy to install. Actually, after the training was completed, I set the highest security level and it worked perfectly. I was curious to see if it will lock the computer when I was using it, but it didn't lock not even once. So, it worked excellent.

Cons

I can't think of any specific aspect. Maybe the training was longer than expected, but in the end this could be a good thing, too.

Glad to hear that you enjoy it! The initial training time is roughly 2000 words, about 1 to 2 days of average user typing. This happens passively while you do your work, so you don't have to open our app to type something actively.

### "One (more) proof that AI may save your life and is NOT a threat !"

February 11, 2023

5.0

I may ( occasionally ) leave my lap top alone

Pros

Very easy to download and install.Easy to set it up.Initially one does not believe that will work properly but IT DOES ! Silently ......

Cons

Until I have asked someone to type in my computer , I could not realize if it was really working......A kind of initial proof could be interesting to assure the user that the app IS working.

### "Trial of Typing DNA"

August 3, 2022

5.0

It was easy to setup and works as it's supposed to. It blocks unknown users and secures my computer

Pros

Typing DNA was easy to install and learns how the user types. I tested this by completing the training portion and then had another user type a memo. Within six words, it had locked the computer keeping the unknown user (unknown to TypingDNA) from doing anything else on the computer.

Cons

At this point, I can find no reason for not liking the app.

Reason for choosing TypingDNA ActiveLock

We're still in the trial phase at this time.

### "Unique product. Wish there was a Linux app"

September 25, 2022

4.0

Pros

The software delivers on what it promised. It's effective in detecting intruders

Cons

No Linux app. Since a large portion of our endpoints are Linux based, this is a major concern

Response from TypingDNA

September 27, 2022

Yes, we currently only support securing Windows and Mac endpoints. Your feedback was noted, and I will follow-up with you when the Linux app is ready.

### "atypical product"

August 10, 2022

5.0

Even though all my colleagues are extraordinary, the application makes working at the office as safe as working at home.

Pros

It runs really smooth. From time to time I remember that the application is active and that it does its job discreetly and this gives me a feeling of security.

Cons

I think that a report on what happened in the last 30 days would be useful
