The NY DMV requires that you verify your identity at multiple touchpoints throughout the course. You will be prompted to answer a security question and complete a simple and easy typing verification process.
What is typing verification?Each individual has a unique typing pattern based on the timings and durations of various key press events. We use state-of-the-art typing keystroke and biometrics analysis to store a baseline typing pattern that we then use to match new typing patterns and verify your identity. This allows us to maintain the integrity of your course progress in a non-intrusive manner.
Please note that your typing pattern is dependent on the device you setup your typing verification on. Your phone typing will be different from your desktop typing. For that reason, we strongly recommend you start and complete the course on the same type of device. If you do need to switch devices at some point, please reach out to our support staff to request that they reset your typing verification.
The process is straightforward:
- You will type in your name and email address on the device you use (twice), and our system will analyze it and store a base typing pattern unique to you.
- This typing pattern will be used to verify your identity throughout the course. You'll be requested to type in your name and email address again to verify your identity.
- Should you fail this verification, you will be offered two more attempts to pass the typing verification.
- If you do fail the third attempt, DMV regulations mandate that you be excluded from the course. Don’t worry, we’ll allow you to retake the course at no extra cost.
- After successfully passing the typing verification, you will continue to the next chapter.
- Typing Verification is prompted in all remaining chapters.
Once you pass the New York DMV road test you will receive an interim license which allows you to drive until you get the official photo one with your smiling face on it in the mail. You will be driving behind the wheel in no time!
We believe in thinking differently. We believe in challenging the status quo. We had an idea 25 years ago that changed the driving industry forever. The notion was simple: the more you enjoy learning, the more you'll remember. Over four million students and several effectiveness studies later, we're proud to say that we were right.
Foundational cognitive psychology research has shown that we learn best when lessons are short, spaced out over time, and actively tested. These are the proven brain-training techniques used to power the IMPROV® RecallBOOST platform. Learners receive focused, highly-targeted information in short, hard-hitting, and engaging bursts, making the given learning objectives stick.
