Hardware Password Wallet - Mooltipass Mini
So this a size reduced version of the Mooltipass device I helped fund nearly 2 years ago. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/limpkin/mooltipass-mini-your-passwords-... I'll let the campaign video sell you on it's virtues. The advantage I find for me is that it's usable universally with any device. When I updated my google credentials, one USB-OTG cable, and I had the new passwords entered into my phone. If I need to store BIOS passwords, I can enter them with out having to read them off. Really like it for password I only use once every few years. The important habits with a device like this, is to back up encrypted credentials database, make spare access cards with different pins and have a spare mooltiplass to restore too should you loose your primary one. If folks have any questions about the device, I'd be happy to answer from my experiences. -- Scott Sullivan

I see some of the comments complaining that the 31 character limit on password length isn't good enough for some users. I wonder if they are going to change that. Where do they enter the pin? Using the wheel? -- Len Sorensen

I personally don't know, and that's a question best answered with a code review and questions to the developers. The code is on github here: https://github.com/limpkin/mooltipass/
Where do they enter the pin? Using the wheel?
Correct, the pin is hex 0-9,A-F and is entered using the wheel. I don't yet know if it has fast scrolling, or if I have to press each time to change character. The original mooltipass used a capacitive wheel and buttons, best thought of as the cheaper cousin of the ipod click wheel. But it in practice I found it easy to over spin to my target character. So I'm looking forward to this physical click wheel. -- Scott Sullivan
