Note: In order to authenticate, the user has to have a previously saved typing pattern.

5. Add a recorded typing pattern in the tp parameter. You can use this typing pattern as an example:

0,2.12,0,0,18,1473785675,4,82,13,0,-1,-1,0,-1,-1,12,93,24,0,-1,-1|8330,137|1121,142|902,144|776,128|792,51|784,111|864,151|872,111|824,127|816,104|888,95|800,151|808,119|897,134|775,101|848,111|1000,143|688,126

Typingdna patterns are outputted by the TypingDNA Authentication API JavaScript recorder on your front-end application. Use this type-to-output tool to easily get typing patterns.

6. Click the Send button to make the Authentication API call. Now you should get a successful Authentication API reply.

Reminder: To authenticate/verify a typing pattern, you have to previously save a typing pattern for the same user.

Congratulations. You have successfully managed to authenticate a typing pattern.
