This suggests to me that a good strategy to confound the thermal detectors
would be to use repeated characters in passwords. I doubt that the thermal
detection would be able to tell how many times a key was pressed, rather
than just the recency of a given key press. That would go against the common
assumption that repeated characters in passwords are a Bad Thing.
