Awesome!

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Purchased one to try out.
Really easy to use, like that you can use without browser extension so you know credentials are local to the device, and no issues of being "out there" as some fear. No more spreadsheets with passwords!

Had an issue with exporting the database, super quick response from Mathieu, and after further testing, located a bug, which will be reviewed in future software updates with Moolticute app. Very impressed, the product and the service are at the same level of awesomeness!

Keep it up Mathieu, definitely a follower here in Australia!

Verry dissapointing

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

The first shock was when I used package tracker to discover the product is made in China. I do not want a password security device that is made in China. Secondly web browser support is really poor and neither MS Edge or IE are supported. Finally the documentation is poorly written and imprecise. I have decided that the only place for this is the bin.

Response from Stephan Electronics | Dec. 20, 2018

Hello William,
Our device is made in China and Switzerland, and we actually do offer ways to make sure your device hasn't been tampered with during every step of the production and shipping processes.
We are currently investigating Edge compatibility, and are extremely sorry if you were lead to believe that we did support it (supported browser list is on all our pages).
Please let us know if you'd like a full refund for your order.

Excellent password manager 10/10

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Super good password manager.
Couldn't recommend this enough; it's really easy to use, and super secure.
Will buy upgrade to any subsequent versions.
My only criticisms are that before I realised how this product works I accidentally nuked one of my pass cards; I thought the cards have the database on them, but they actually have the private key, so when I tried to update the database on the key it broke, lol.
Luckily I have 4, so it doesn't matter.
Will probably buy more cards to be safe (definitely get extra cards in case you lose them), might even buy another mooltipass, although I don't know how easy it is to back up the database on a second device, might be more work than I can be bothered with.

SUPPORT QUALITY OPEN SOURCE DEVICES LIKE THIS ONE

Mooltipass Mini

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Overall the product is good but can have more improvement in the future. If the next generation of Mooltipass can include an administrator account to manage all this smartcard for on-boarding and off-boarding process. Then, this product will be for suitable to be used in corporate usage.

Response from Stephan Electronics | Dec. 7, 2018

Hello Kenneth!
Thanks for your review! We indeed plan such features for our next gen device.

Top Produkt mit Potential

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Ich habe nach einer sicheren Lösung Passwörter zu speichern gesucht. Ich wollte keine Kompromisse eingehen und weder die Passwörter auf dem PC noch online in irgend einer Cloud speichern. So habe ich schließlich Mooltipass gefunden. Die Hardware ist gut verarbeitet, der Display gut lesbar und das Karten-Wechselsystem sehr durchdacht. An der Software wird mit ständigen Updates und Verbesserungen gearbeitet. Das freut mich als Kunde und macht Hoffnung, dass das Produkt irgendwann alle meine Wünsche abdecken kann.

Leider gibt es etwas was mich an dem Produkt was mich stört und ich deshalb nicht 5/5 Sterne vergeben kann. Es ist die Passwortzeichenbeschränkung auf 31 Zeichen. Ich hatte das Gerät hauptsächlich gekauft um meine Steemit-Passwörter abzuspeichern. Diese sind so lange wie sie sind und das kann ich leider nicht ändern. Hier ein Beispiel: STM5X1X9dYZZKUa4tWsELShXXTZoJbg3jui2NRDBr6fJ8yS6pFxDD

Mir ist durchaus bewusst, dass für die Sicherheit alleine 31 Zeichen reichen würden. Jedoch würde ich es als Chance sehen, wenn in Zukunft grössere Passwörter möglich sein würden. Dadurch wird natürlich auch Speicherplatz auf dem Gerät verloren gehen und je nach Speichereinteilung/Programmierung ist es ein grosser Aufwand diese Funktion zu implementieren. Vielleicht kann ja der Benutzer selber wählen wie grosse Passwörter er haben möchten unter dem Punkt „Einstellungen“ dann muss er halt insgesamt mit weniger Passwörter auskommen. Ich würde mich aber sehr darüber freuen 

Trotzdem ist es ein Top Produkt und ein grosses Lob an den Entwickler / das Entwicklerteam.

------------------
I have been looking for a secure solution to store passwords. I didn't want to compromise and neither store the passwords on the PC nor online in any cloud. So I finally found Mooltipass. The hardware is well processed, the display is easy to read and the card changing system is very well thought out. The software is constantly being updated and improved. This pleases me as a customer and gives me hope that the product will be able to cover all my wishes at some point.

Unfortunately there is something about the product that bothers me and I can't give out 5/5 stars. It is the password character restriction to 31 characters. I mainly bought the device to store my Steemit passwords. These are as long as they are and unfortunately I cannot change that. Here is an example: STM5X1X9dYZZKUa4tWsELShXXTZoJbg3jui2NRDBr6fJ8yS6pFxDD

I am well aware that 31 characters alone would be enough for security. However, I would see it as an opportunity if larger passwords would be possible in the future. This will of course also result in a loss of memory space on the device and depending on the memory allocation/programming it will be a great effort to implement this function. Maybe the user can choose himself how big passwords he would like to have under the point "Settings" then he has to get along with less passwords. But I would be very happy about that :)

Nevertheless it is a top product and a big praise to the developer / developer team.

Hello Christoph,
Wow, thanks a lot for taking the time to write this review!
Thanks for your feedback, we do indeed listen to our customers in order to implement the features they'd like the most. Regarding the 31 characters limitation, you may be interested in the small file storage feature that our software provides; even though it requires an additional step during credential recall. We'll definitely lift this limitation for the next devices we'll eventually make!

Well built hardware, Good security protocols, SW unreliable.

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Needed a password vault more than an active password manager, but was attracted to the promise of automation and better security offered.

The usage protocols required to load passwords (or change them) are well thought out, but a bit cumbersome. Other devices would be the same in this regard.
The hardware and included cable are of high quality - though my error rate on entering my pin with the thumbwheel is about 10 percent.

The software (MooltiCute) is a good balance between function and complexity. Too bad it crashes the first time I use it on a freshly booted computer (MAC Mini).
Second attempts to restart MooltiCute fail unless the dead app is killed from the command-line. The software is very good about keeping you secure and does not let you do bad things that might compromise security. (I would have liked a way to export an ASCII representation, but understand reasons for not allowing it. (Third party scripts seem available though.)

Security is inconvenient. I will continue to use the very fine Mooltipass Mini, although I don't think I will gift the spare I purchased to a less patient friend :-) ..

Response from Stephan Electronics | Oct. 7, 2018

Hello Eric!
Thanks for your review! We're sorry about your experience with Moolticute... did this happen with the v0.21.11 version? We recently pushed an update that considerably improves stability on MacOS. If not, please get in touch with us so we can solve together this bug.
Rest assured that we are working on a daily basis on trying to improve ease-of-use while remaining secure!

Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I've received my Device relatively quickly considering where it came. It was packed extremely well which was a relief.
Setting it up was pretty straightforward as the Company has a dedicated page for its setup. I will say this read everything on the website on the setup page, so you understand the operation of your device. It came with a long cord which was a nice touch so it could be placed out of the way while working. And it works as promised, it gives you the option to use a password of your own or it can generate a strong password for better protection. Overall I'm extremely pleased with this device. Also before I made the purchase I had some questions about certain things and the Owner answered my questions without hesitation which put my mind at ease. The decision was pretty easy after that.
I recommend this device to anyone who has to remember or have numerous passwords.

Solid buy

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

So I purchased this device after trying similar products in this category. After using the mooltipass, it is hands down the best device in the offline password category.

I have since migrated all creds and private ssh keys to device. Although not a 2fa device, the request to approve login makes it feel as such.

The only annoyance is in attempting to use this device with a cellphone. One would have to scroll through the list of creds to use. Although the list can be reduced by using favorites, I still find that this experience can be improved.

Overall I do recommend this product. It works very well, the user experience is smooth (browser plugins). In addition, users can create extremely complex passwords without the fear of forgetting.

One last thing, the device does offer the ability to store files.

Hopefully this helps.

Response from Stephan Electronics | Aug. 20, 2018

Thanks for the extremely kind words Edwin, they mean a lot!
Have you tried pushing and scrolling to browse more quickly the credentials list?

Great product

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Mooltipass is a great product. I bought a second one after trying out one. I mainly use it for my most sensitive and less frequently used passwords for maximum security. For less sensitive passwords, I use a software password manager for convenience - the convenience is especially helpful for mobile devices. The combination of the two works really well for me.

Promising, not ready for corporate ... yet

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

After using it for about 2 weeks now, I really love my Mooltipass!

Great software infrastructure
- "Knocking to enter" is a great gimmick!
- Charmingly os agnostic, transparent approach (Mooltipass acts as a keyboard).
- Windows components (browser add-in, Moolticute hardware "driver" app) are installable by the user, without admin privileges.
- Data backups and duplication of cards and devices are thoroughly supported.

Hardware shortcomings
- Wheel acts erratic, number on display sometimes rolls in the opposite direction of wheel movement or even jumps 1-2 notches further (as a result, it takes much longer to dial 4 digits than to input a 12 digit password via keyboard, this leads to an inclination to not using the device).
- Card size is "off", a card at standard credit card size would be advantageous, with a hole to attach a key ring/card strap/lanyard.

Not ready for corporate deployment (yet - these can be fixed via software)
- Option to install a protected Windows logon (via GINA.DLL) is missing.
- No fixed link between registered active directory user and specific Mooltipass device is possible.

Wishlist
- Device should be usable as an "offline" lookup tool, to completely replace my spreadsheet password and PIN "database" (or: full-size password manager like KeePass). I'd like to be able to specify if I want the password to be entered or to be displayed.
- A battery supported device option would be a welcomed next step ...

Response from Stephan Electronics | July 2, 2018

Hello Martin,
Thanks for the time you took to write that great review!
- wheel behavior: this sometimes happens when some dust or grease accumulates inside the mechanism. Simply use a little of isopropyl alcohol to get rid of that annoyance :)
- card size: we do have a standard size available: https://www.tindie.com/products/limpkin/mooltipass-cards-and-holders/

As for your corporate environment related suggestions, we'll get to them as soon as possible!

Great Product!

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

All in all a great Product. Simple and efficient, the interface is well designed and I can't complain about anything to do with the Mooltipass itself. The Software is great too however the newest version doesn't support my older operating system (which is OSX 10.10.5) which is annoying. The shipping is very pricy and seems too high when compared to other products I have ordered from China. But apart from that nothing to complain.

Response from Stephan Electronics | June 29, 2018

Hello there!
Thanks for your great review, it means a lot!
We're very sorry about the lack of Yosemite support, this is due to the cross-platform framework we use for Moolticute: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/supported-platforms.html

Awesome product

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I will buy the mooltipass again and again, another one for traveling as well as some presents for family and friends. Before I used the keepass app and it was already much nicer than keeping lists of passwords on paper or in manually encrypted files.
The mooltipass has a few big advantages over everything else I used or saw before:
- Open Hardware (obviously I wouldn't want to trust my credentials to other hardware anymore which uses e.g. intel processors that may potentially leak every trusted bit of information via exploitation of stuff like ME, AMT or various flaws like spectre, meltdown etc.)
- Extra device only for this concern (doing all on one device makes you incredibly dependent on that and if you lose it or it's stolen everything is a really big mess)
- Ease of use (I thought keepass was easy but mooltipass is really astonishing simple)

These are just some good reasons to buy this. Another one is that I like the idea of open source / hardware business and would rather support this project instead of buying a cheaper and not really trust-worthy alternative from some big company that I don't trust. I wouldn't just buy the mooltipass to support it - this is just a good side effect.

Works great so far

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Used the mooltipass for 2 weeks now and have really enjoyed using it to keep things more secure. It's very easy to use, looks sleek, functions great. I guess the only concern I have is that I'll wear out the scroll wheel from clicking it, but not worried about that now. I'd definitely consider buying a backup and maybe encourage friends/family to consider using it to make their information more secure.

An amazing Password Manager

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

So, I was basically looking for better password managers online, been getting fed up with LastPass for a good while now and KeePass is extremely slow and requires too much manual labour to operate it. I wanted some smoother experience without the hacks involved. And since my activity usually low risk since I don't download that much things, I thought a hardware based solution would be amazing, but I didn't find anything interesting in the beginning. But then my friend told me about the product he came across but he was reluctant to buy, but I looked at the documentation and stuff associated with the product and I was quite blown away. I tried other password managers like Myki, but I was quite astonished how easily a government entity could spoof my telephone number and take over my password data without my permission, and they can actually do it! While I was actually looking around I figured out these are not really good solution and I finally decided about giving the Mooltipass a try.

And I have to say this hits the spot. Except the shipping.

The Moolticute app itself is very handy, I managed to put some handy files onto the device already, logging into the device with the Mooltipass is as easy as a breeze, in comparison to the Ledger Nano S, this thing takes less time to get into the main interface, although I didn't get to try out the Trezor Model T yet, I suspect it takes lot less touching or clicking to get into the password manager. Also to note, the Nano S's passwords are deterministic and have different settings under what deterministic passwords appear based on the title that is given for each entry which determines the character combination based on the master seed. I'd love to see something similar in this. Although those passwords are much shorter 20 characters long only, which is not quite feasible in my opinion. Although they contain a lot more different types of characters with full ASCII and other encoding support.

The Mooltipass is a clear winner here. I actually started changing my passwords now on goonfleet.com, logging in via the device is a lot easier task now and even getting into EVE's main application without having to save the password unsecurely on the local drive.

I did take a me a bit of time to figure out how to use it with Android, because the password didn't want to work properly until I figured out I can change the keyboard layout in the settings on Android when the HID- connected sign is in the status bar. It's really good, also (I suspect) it can detect it is running a different operating system because on Android the typing is a lot slower but still accurate, managed to log into amazon with it just fine. Also I was thinking that a micro-to-micro short cable would be included but it wasn't so I kinda felt let down with that. Also the fact that USB-C is not supported, is quite weird, should have been in the first place! But still good, perhaps in a new Mooltipass in the future.

I gave the product 5 starts because it is so epic, with the documentation and the communication same 5 stars, Limpkin is pretty fast with replies. I was quite generous with the shipping giving it 3 starts, only because the Mooltipass arrived unharmed. xD I saw some horror stories about it never arriving or screen being wonky (mine doesn't even rattle, although I must admit I did try and shake it a bit to see if it does it xD) or the wheel broken on arrival, phew, must be a nightmare with the 4-5 week long wait time. If you order this, you better forget about it for quite some time, because I was literally stalking the DHL shipping page constantly for the past 2 weeks, drove me nuts. xD The device took 5 weeks to arrive, also it been in the country of destination (Hungary), I do know our postal service is a nightmare shouldn't be blaming DHL for it, but I'm happy that it arrived unexpectedly today!

Hopefully now that I have the Mooltipass my friend will also consider getting one or two for himself also! :D Thanks for the amazing product!

Overall ignore the stars on top, it is 5 out of 5.

Response from Stephan Electronics | May 9, 2018

Hello Viktor,

Wow, thanks for the time you took to write this wonderful review!
Shipping may be quite slow depending on the destination indeed. We therefore recommend to customers who can't wait to get their hands on the mooltipass mini top opt for DHL express delivery (takes 3-4 days).
Please note you may use a USB-C to microUSB adapter for the mooltipass mini.

We're really glad you like our device!

Mooltipass Mini

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I'm already using this product for a while (bought 2 for my wife and myself) and can only say it's AMAZING. Previously I was using 1password but then realized that storing passwords in the cloud is not secure and I had a lot of problems with their plugins so that had to unlock the main app to copy passwords and paste on the website every time. All these issues are now gone with Mooltipass Mini which is much easier to use. I'm using it on the computer and with IPhone (which requires Mooltipass to be adjusted a little bit: set "wait 5 ms after each keypress" in Moolticute app). The screen is very contrast, pretty big and very easy to read. Scrolling wheel feels awesome and very fast. Authentication on the websites is immediate, Mooltipass understands where to type login and password (which could be overridden for non-standard websites) and does all this job.

The concept of the card is awesome and adds security. Everything can be adjusted/customized, there are a lot of useful settings in Moolticute. Passwords backups to binary files is also possible. The product is designed by extremely smart and talanted people. Thank you!

Conclusion after a year

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I've used this device for nearly a year now.
Saving and using passwords is working like a charm with the browser plugin and moolticute.

I'm using moolticute for quite a while now and it's doing a nice job so far.
Sure, it's far from beeing finished (at least I hope it is) but there's one thing I'm missing most:
I'd like to have an option to modify the service/site name to change an IP-Adress or URL without the need to re-add the entry.

That beeing said I'm staying tuned for future updates.

P.S.:
I'm still not able to view themooltipass.com from my location.

Response from Stephan Electronics | May 10, 2018

Hello,
Thanks for your great review! We'll therefore look into implementing service name editing in our next Moolticute releases.

Is this the password manager you deserve?

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Lets start with the exterior first, housing is really good.

The wheel button, I like hardware buttons, however after two weeks, it starts to get a slightly loosely (not a problem yet).

The screen, the screen doesnt get darker than 20% in moolticute, so you need to be careful, that noone is watching you from behind. Would be nice if it could get darker. At 20% its still very bright.

Software, I only used the app moolticute. I cant comment yet on the browser extensions yet.
The biggest downside from my point of view, to enter new data into the mooltipass, you need software. Without installing additional software like moolticute or other browser extensions, [at this moment] the mooltipass is basically useless.
I would have been nice if you could use the mooltipass without additional software to manage your [creating new] credentials.

Support gives quick responses, but currently emails to request a password to verify that the device was not tempered doesn't get answered anymore.
The process of... Well actually the attempt to verify a user by asking the user details is flawed, hopefully a better process can be put into place. In github i created a pull request [got merged], hopefully instead of asking someone's address information, only a tindie order number should be enough.

Overall feeling, positive. Arbitrary pointing, 6.5 out of 8.
Would I be buying another one? Probably not [unless you can manage everything from the mooltipass itself].
Would I recommend it to other people, probably yes, until I see something better on the road.

Response from Stephan Electronics | May 2, 2018

Hello there!

Thanks for your review!
Rest assured that the hardware button won't change after 2 weeks of use, as it wasn't used before.
Following your review, we'll therefore be adding a 10% brightness setting on moolticute!
Manually entering credentials on the Mooltipass itself, if implemented, would be quite cumbersome which is why the team preferred not implemeting that feature.
We're very surprised by your comment about password requests... we do have answered your email with your password codes twice. Could you contact us again at support[at]themooltipass[dot]com ?

Thanks again for your review!

Great Product

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Exactly what I was searching for!

Pros:
-small
-pretty secure (to the best of my knowledge)
-easy to use (and snappy as hell)
-works on all devices which support usb keyboards (tested on an Android Phone and a PS4)

Cons:
-I'll have to get a second one as backup, because I'm not able to access my credentials when the device is broken or missing
-Export/Import for keepass etc. would be great
-It would be handy to be able to change the keyboard layout from the devices settings menu (perhaps from a list of favorites which is defined in the desktop app)
-nothing else, I love it

Response from Stephan Electronics | April 4, 2018

Hello Julian!

Portable way to safe/use passwords on the go in a safe way

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I'm very content with this little portable device, I normally use keepass but I can't use it in all situations, at work for instance when I remotely connect using the console to a hyperv virtual machine, I'm not able to use the clipboard to paste username and password from keepass, however because the mooltipass emulates a keyboard it has no problem entering username and password, this makes it really easy especially because we use some really difficult passwords which are error prone when manually typing them in, with the mooltipass it's a matter of selecting what you want to enter, username and password or just the password.
Also seeing you need a personal pin, which you can choose between numbers and a few letters, in combination with the mooltipass mini card it's in my eyes pretty safe, just remember that if you aren't using it you keep the mini card seperate and even if you don't after 3 consecutive wrong pin entries the card gets locked. The options that you get with the management software is also very appreciated, I for instance set the device to auto lock after 15 minutes of non-use, so you're forced to enter your pin. Also you can use the management software to manually enter in credentials if you aren't using the browser plug-ins, there is an option to export your credential database and also to import, the exported file is encrypted using your pin and mini pass aes 256 key. Support has been great, I noticed that the scroll wheel was jumping between characters at the pin screen, I was going to make a support ticket, but than in a news letter they mentioned my problem and that you can contact support for a fix, I did and received a firmware update which solved my problem. I ordered another mooltipass device so I can have 1 permanently at home and 1 for on the go.

A great alternative to online password keepers

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

If you're a bit reluctant to use one of those online password keepers like lastpass, keepass or whatsoever, this system is a great solution.
It's easy and intuitive to use, if you're used to tinker around with hardware stuff, you won't even need the manual for the setup.
This new form factor surely adds into portability, although we're drifting from the original idea of just having one aside from the home/job workstation. And I liked the LED wheel better, but that's just aesthetic^^
So if you already have the older version, you can easily export your credentials to the mini and also use the older cards, no problems.
Happy to see firefox support since until last year I was entering my creds manually, which was not that convenient. now it works like a charm with firefox and the companion app.
I'm not that much of a power user, so I haven't yet reach any limitations. Others reviewer might have more insight on that matter
The community keeps adding new features and keep evolving so I'm definitely looking forward for the next version!

Easy use of Mooltipass

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Mooltipass is easy to use. Not only with Chrome but also with other browsers (by manually input of your credentials) and other sites as long as there is a login page (even with Chrome incognito). Max. characters is 31. How about private keys (crypto) and longer passphrases? I read somewhere that there is a program called "Moolticute". I will certainly install this program.
Only one small matter is the manual. The manual could be a bit more extensive (how to: erase a card, use favorites), but after using it, I was able to make everything work just fine. Overall, a great tool. No more hassling with (many) USB sticks.

Thanks a lot for your review John!
You can indeed use moolticute to store long passphrases and private keys.

Great device, easy to use and highly se

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

As a technically oriented person, I find the ease of use similar to online password managers such as Lastpass, obviously with a much higher level of security. The device is solid, and very well made, the screen is super easy to use. I think this, and devices like it, will be the way passwords will have to be managed in future.

I find it wonderful now.

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Hi guys.
I find mooltipass mini really cool for the moment. I use it every day at job and at home.

The shipping was weird, is there a way to take it in lausanne directly by hand?
I live 50 minutes from lausanne (but in france) and the mooltipass takes plane during one week to come to me.

Regards,
Nicolas

Not as fonctionnal as keepass

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Passwords are limited to 31 chars and does not support all special characters like é,à...so it make mooltipass not suitable for use of passphrase (unlike passwords managers like keepass) and nothing about these limitations can be found in the doc.
However the products work well, setup in ~5min thank to a good documentation and friendly gui.

Response from Stephan Electronics | Sept. 29, 2017

Hello Djan,
Special characters are actually supported for browser native integration (just not manual credential recall) and you may use our small file storage feature to store longer passwords. Anyway, we're actually working on lifting these limitations!
Please note that if you're not happy with your device, we can offer you a full refund.
Regards,
Mathieu

A very nicely built functions offline password vault

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

The device arrived promptly and came boxed in a nice good quality box. In side you will find the Mooltipass and a USB lanyard to carry it with, as well as 2 smart cards and a curious but quite cool braided USB cable. Operation is simple as it is powered by plugging it into USB power. A turn wheel on the side allows you to scroll up and down the menus, which are clearly displayed on a blue LCD, and a press selects the item. Very intuitive.

To use properly you need to install the App/Desktop App which give your administrative functions for managing passwords. Web browser plug-ins add login credentials to the Mooltipass.

A few limitations to the device might make it unsuitable though.

You can only import previously generated passwords via a simple CVS file which takes no account of the contexts of the credentials. Also passphrases are limited to 31 characters which though is quite sufficient entropy for most people means existing tokens may not be able to be imported or added to the device.

Otherwise it does exactly what it says it does by prompting when a saved login is noticed and typing in the username on one press and the password on another one.

Hello there,
Thanks for your great review!
For long text storage you may be interested in the small file storage that we recently implemented in Moolticute: https://github.com/raoulh/moolticute/releases . Please note that it actually is a replacement for MooltiApp and you'll therefore need to remove it.

Pretty cool, software still needs work

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

This is a good product, and with better software it could be amazing.

It's solidly built, even though the scroll wheel is a bit off - sometimes it scrolls up when you're scrolling down so it's not entirely smooth. But mostly works.

The software works pretty well on Chrome (I use Vivaldi, extensions are compatible). I get a feeling fixing some aspects of the software is not a super priority, since some notifications have a "don't show me this again" button that _does not work_ still, after months. Also, for some misguided sense of "super security", you can't export your passwords, only a memory dump of the device's storage. If it completely breaks down, you can either a) buy a new device or b) buy a smartcard reader, dump your smartcard's key, and run a Python script that the manufacturer posted to get access to the entries.

This is kinda dumb. Power users know what they are doing, and perfect security in the age of state-level adversaries is a pipe dream anyway. Instead, you put your trust in an unknown company's promises. I don't like that compromise. It feels like your OS preventing you from removing all files on a hard drive - tools shouldn't try to be too smart, just do what I want already. Show me a disclaimer or whatever, but it's my device, and I should be able to do with it whatever I want to do.

That being said, I did have a problem with one of the cards that came with my unit, and the manufacturer sent me ten (!) replacement cards for free. That was pretty awesome.

So yeah - it's great, but it has definite downsides. Also, I personally feel put off by the tone of their README file on github (https://github.com/limpkin/mooltipass#a-brief-history-of-security-flaws-and-breaches) it's a bit defensive and instead of just saying "we're good", it kinda implies "look how shit everyone else is". I prefer my products less petty :)

I'd recommend it, if you're aware of the downsides and still want a portable (Firefox/Chrome/Vivaldi/others being worked on) solution for password management.

Hello Jieke,

Thanks for your thorough review!
We'll answer your different points below:
Scroll wheel: we've actually released a firmware update that corrects just that. Please get in touch with us through support[at]themooltipass[dot]com
Notifications: we'll check this, as we've never tested our extension on Vivaldi
The possibility to make an unencrypted backup would go directly against the security model of the Mooltipass. If we were to implement it, the resulting level of security you would achieve would be lower than standard password keepers.
As you mentioned, if you really want to do so you can use our Python tool - which does show you such a disclaimer.
We actually don't ask you to trust us! As our complete project is open source, you can reprogram your unit with your own custom firmware.
Github list: this is not the intended goal at all. We just want to provide a log of major incidents and their technical details.

Again, thanks a lot for your review!
