One solution would be a password mode where the keys randomly rearrange, so you are using different physical keys each time. Kinda like you can do with passcodes on Android. Ofc this implies some way of dynamically displaying the keys, but that would be cool in itself.
Or what about playing sounds that block out the clicking.
Rearranging the keys? My password’s pretty much muscle memory, typed fast enough in not really worried about people watching me enter it. Call me lazy, but having to pick and hit every key? No thanks.
Especially, this would be less secure since you have to search the keys every time and give the attacker time to read which key you typed. Best Password is no Password (private key).
Playing sounds? sure.
Rearranging keys - hell no.
