Using biometric behavior to prevent users from inappropriately entering sensitive information
Disclosed embodiments can pertain to utilizing biometric behavior to prevent inappropriate entry of sensitive information. Current biometric behavior of a user, specific to the user's interaction with an electronic form, can be acquired and compared to benchmark biometric behavior of the user associated with past interaction with the electronic form to create a comparison result. A similarity score based on the comparison result can then be established. It can be inferred that sensitive information was incorrectly entered into the electronic form when the similarity score satisfies a predetermined similarity threshold. The sensitive information can be identified, and a machine learning model can be triggered to generate a risk score based on the similarity score and the identified sensitive information. A user can be prompted to redact incorrectly entered sensitive information when the risk score satisfies a predetermined risk threshold.

compare the current biometric behavior to a benchmark biometric behavior of the user associated with past interactions with the electronic form to create a comparison result;
using a machine learning model, determine a risk score in response to the comparison;
determine that sensitive information was mistakenly entered into the electronic form in response to the risk score exceeding a predetermined threshold; and
prompt the user with a message beside a correct field location, the correct field location including a correct location to enter the sensitive information, the message including instructions to redact the mistakenly entered sensitive information and to enter the information at the correct field location.
