  I don't see the relevance.

    You can use fingerprint or U2F to unlock your password manager and copy the password. That way you don’t have to type it in.

      That does nothing for keylogging through this method.

        It would have to be combined with a secure (no microphones) area during setup, but it seems like swapped biometric plus token would defeat this attack (password gathering). It would however not defeat generic data collection.

        It would eliminate someone being able to get your username or password via this method though. Because you never have to type them in.

        With my MacBook I can use either touchid or my watch to automatically unlock it, so I don’t even have to type my password in to get into my laptop. And then I use touchid and Keychain for all my passwords so I never have to type those in either.
