"Behavioral profiling" is identifying people based not on what they know (such as a secret password) but on what they do (the way they type on a keyboard, mouse gestures, for instance).
This could be used to strengthen login pages -which sounds like a good thing unless you break your thumb or copy-paste passwords- but also to identify anybody without letting them know they've been identified. There's a major risk for privacy.
Hopefully, browser plugins exist to defeat such profilers.
