🛡️ Frictionless Verification

No More Manual Codes

Early versions of Attest required users to enter a 6-digit TOTP code every time they sent an email. We realized that was too slow. Today, verification is completely silent and automatic.

How Silent Verification Works

Instead of forcing you to open an authenticator app and manually type codes, Attest uses behavioral dynamics . When you compose an email, the browser extension measures subtle physical interactions such as mouse movement speeds, curves, and click patterns.

These human interactions are mathematically unique and impossible for bots, scripts, or AI engines to replicate. The check takes place locally on your computer in milliseconds when you click "Send" and is completely seamless.

Why we removed TOTP for daily use

1

Zero Friction

You write and send emails exactly as you did before. There is no disruption to your workflow.

2

Instant Verification

Verification completes in less than 200ms right after you hit Send.

3

Identical Security

Since automated bots cannot mimic physical human mouse dynamics, it blocks automated session hijacking just as effectively as a manual code.

🔒 Privacy & Data

Our behavioral analysis parses movement speeds and vectors locally. We do not track or record your actual coordinates, biometric identifiers, or keystrokes. Only the validation result (human or robotic) is sent to our verification server.
