    This goes beyond privacy, it’s an actual security threat. Fingerprints on touch interfaces can be read accurately by cameras as well. That leaves what? YubiKeys?

      It is a security threat, but only over an already compromised system.

      They have to have access to your microphone or a microphone in your room.

      Another path could be over a video call, but filtering out keystrokes is pretty easy, so that’s not a big deal.

      I guess in a public place it could be an issue? But, a camera could obviously do that already.
