How many people with a loud mechanical keyboard shut their microphone to type a password whem sharing their screen in an audio/video call?

A good life hack I figured out is to smear your laptop camera and microphone with sticky tack, not to totally disable them but to insufferably degrade them, then after a few attempts you can be excused from the expectation of ever appearing on video calls and can disable both permanently.

If you start by hitting backspace a few times and/or typing random characters and deleting them (to make sure the keyboard's working and sending your inputs where you think) it should obscure the length somewhat.

Hitting Home, End and Ins would "add" another 3 characters yet would not change the password. A full 100+ keyboard needed.

I was not thinking about the length but the actual keypress recognition. If you have enough recording of all kind of keypresses many keys/characters can be recognized from the waveform itself, including the backspace and delete ones.

I doubt this is a super common threat but I would expect it to be already applied by spies or "Jia Tan" like employees.
