Memtype project is a cost-effective open source solution to store your passwords for having them available everywhere in a tiny and portable USB form factor device.
The device is based on the Atmel attiny85 device and uses V-USB software solution to have USB communications and enumerate as a keyboard.
The project started with the idea... what's the cheapest way of having a USB stick with all your passwords ?
About security... the device can't be accessed without entering a 4 digit PIN and all credential info is encrypted using NOEKEON cipher (we use this cipher as AES implementation is too much for the little attiny85).
Features
Keep all your user/passwords encrypted and stored with MemType.
Choose the user/password pair that you want and it'll type it for you with just one movement.
You can use it to log in into any kind of auth system like web or application.
PIN Lock, unlock it when connected! no one can use it if lost!
Store not only the password but also the user! it types it all for you jumping from one field to another!
Why stop there? store also the command and it'll type it for you! let it type the long ssh user@someserver -p port command for you or anything else! You can add waits so it types everything at the right time with ASCII SYN chars.
Enumerates as a HID, no need for drivers, it'll work on any device with USB.
Dynamic storage, so you're not limited to a fixed password length, just fill the 2K flash reserved for credential storage with anything you want :)
Assign names to your stored user/password/commands so you can find them fast and easy.
Many languages keymaps, request us the keymap for you keyboard and language if you don't find it.
RED and GREEN leds two know device status LOCKED / UNLOCKED.
Open Source Hardware and Software.
Mac, Linux and Windows support for the Graphical User Interface management tool.
How does it work?
Load your credentials in it.
Enjoy and forget all your passwords, MemType will type the credentials for you.
Once you've loaded your credentials on the MemType, connect it to any device, you won't need any software to use it. It works like an automagic keyboard that types your passwords for you (and more) !

Memtype
Good product over all. The GUI program is far from easy to get working and is impossible to use on windows 10. Once you do get it working on Linux it won't read or write to the device at all. Overall it's a good device but the lack of documentation is a little annoying.

Hi William!
Thanks for your feedback.
We agree that getting the GUI working on windows 10 is far from easy, that's why we're rewritting it in C++ using libusb1.0. This allows us to provide an easy installer, you can follow the progress here: https://github.com/oyzzo/MemTypeTool/tree/rewrite/MemTypeManager
The documentation can be found here (we'll keep improving it): http://www.area0x33.com/documentation/memtype.html
Remember you can also reach us by a mail to info (at) area0x33 (dot) com, we're always happy to help and learn from your comments.
Regards, Miguel & Noel

Great!
*Little footprint *Good UI *Fast shipping
*Here you have Fibbonacci sequence to fill up the stupid 100 characters limit O:-)
Pretty good, ignore my rating for shipping and communication
I got the product within a reasonable amount of time, although it got checked at the post office so it probably took more time than it should have, so ignore my rating for shipping.
I also didn't have to communicate with them about any problems or things like that, so ignore my rating for communication.
It works well, except for the fact that the MemTypeTool didn't work for me on Windows 10, and it only had a text file with the requirements, so I had to use an Ubuntu virtual machine to put passwords on the device and change the pin.
I currently only use it for my most important passwords, because it's a bit annoying to take out and use the joystick for the pin, but that's a thing you sacrifice for the pretty low price and the compactness.
Also, the product feels a bit unprotected as it is pretty much just a bare PCB, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a 3d printed case or even try to design one myself. Again, something that is sacrificed for the low price.

Hi Ariel!
Thank you very much for your feedback!
We are making a new GUI with newer libusb that allows us to provide an easy installer for windows users, you can follow the progress here: https://github.com/oyzzo/MemTypeTool/tree/rewrite/MemTypeManager
We're close to have an original solution to protect a little bit the MemType PCB. More news about it comming soon :)

Fantastic!
The Memtype is a fantastic little device. Installing the MemtypeTool took a bit of research though. From what I could find, there doesn't seem to exist a version of libusb-win32 that is compatible with 64 bit Windows 10. As far as I can tell, this effectively makes putting credentials on the Memtype impossible on Windows 10. After installing the Memtype Tool on a Linux netbook with no issues, everything worked fine and I've very much enjoyed using it.

Hi Richard!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
We're writting from scratch a GUI with newer version of libusb to support windows 8/10 without problems, this rewrite also allows us to provide an easy installer for windows users as well as new features.

Nice approach
In order to use it in productive/work environment a backup option is needed. Thus the export button of memtypetool needs a way to encrypt the output. Reported in https://github.com/oyzzo/MemTypeTool/issues/12
Response from Area0x33 | Aug. 19, 2016
Hi Ursin,
Thanks for commenting out! Encrypted export is indeed a needed feature and will be soon implemented. A new web with better documentation and videos is also on the way!
