I totally assumed typing cadence and mouse behaviour was incorperated into bot detection for years before this already, interesting.

I had a security manager at a big bank (one of my first clients) tell straight to my face that the website decides whether to let me in before I even start typing the password(-equivalent) and that the password is just a formality not to scare people. Near as I could tell, he believed it himself

Marketing indeed. He had me doubting for a while what magic they weren't sharing with the rest of us to avoid countermeasures being developed, but I know better now (working in infosec, seeing what these systems catch, don't catch, and bycatch)
