Interesting Product but lacking a few key points

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

The shipping TIME was the worst ever. It tooks weeks of waiting. I am sure I got orders from China faster...
While the product is nice, it lacks:
- ability to update
- ability to support password longer than 31 characters
- shipping with a regular sized smart card (fits better in wallets)

Response from Stephan Electronics | Sept. 12, 2017

Hello Wilfried,
As mentioned in our shipping options, it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks for a package to arrive to your place when shipped from Switzerland, and 3 to 4 weeks when shipped from China.
- the Mooltipass actually does have the ability to update
- for longer password, you may be interested in the small file storage feature that moolticute offers
- you may actually purchase standard cards here: https://www.tindie.com/products/limpkin/mooltipass-cards-and-holders/

Nice device, I hope it lasts for a long time

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

The device and software are both very good and convenient. The model of the security is convincing and the software is completely open.

I am just a bit concerned about the mechanical durability of the clicking wheel and the USB connector. But so far it works well.

A feature I would propose: It would be great if I could change the keyboard layout on the device without using the Mooltiapp on the PC. This way I could use it on a machine where I can not install the Mooltiapp and which uses a different keyboard layout. Maybe this could be done in a newer version of the firmware?

These are just some suggestions. The device is very convenient, well built and really nice to look at too!

Response from Stephan Electronics | Aug. 25, 2017

Thanks for your great review Yves!
We'll therefore try to find a convenient way to implement this layout switch feature.

An awesome product from awesome people

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I heard a long time ago about the mooltipass, but wasn't fully convinced buying it. Working in the Information Security field, I deal with hundreds of passwords that must vary from each other and contain high entropy - meaning I spend lots of efforts creating them and tracking them.
I don't trust online password management services and rather have an offline, secure password manager.
The mooltipass is perfect for that reason. The product feels very sturdy and well made and I was pleasantly surprised with how polished the software interface is.
Last but definitely not least - the people behind the mooltipass are pleasant professionals. It was great communicating with them.
I will pass on the word to my colleagues!

Response from Stephan Electronics | Aug. 19, 2017

Thanks a lot for your great review Ariel!

Great product, does what it says it does.

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I've been using the Mooltipass Mini for a while now and I love it. Especially useful for those websites that you almost never visit and never have the password for. Shipping and tracking with postNL was slow, and tracking updates infrequent, but it was worth the wait.

I spoke with support to get my UID and they were very friendly and responsive with a great eye on security.

Response from Stephan Electronics | July 20, 2017

Hello Zebediah,

Thanks for your awesome review!
Shipping may indeed take a while sometimes, which is why we recommend potential buyers to select shipping from Switzerland or using DHL if they're eager to receive their purchase sooner.

Joshua | July 18, 2017

It does what it says, but there is so much room to improve

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

For the first 3 sites I tried this on, 3 of 3 failed to login properly. Whatever the cause, this is in the browser extension. The device seems to let you change settings, including lockout timer without authentication first. It seems to require authentication way to frequently, and password storage and organization capability leaves volumes to be desired. Could be much improved. I could imagine this being useful for dozens of passwords not hundreds, and if used as HID instead of through plugin auto.

Response from Stephan Electronics | July 18, 2017

Hello Joshua,
We are confused by your review. The Mooltipass actually is an HID device and can type passwords like a standard keyboard.
Are you sure to have correctly installed our application and extension? If so, have you reported the issues with these 3 websites using the extension menu? As you may know we are constantly adding support to websites that may have problems with our extension.
Authentication is required before critical changes to your personal database are done.

Great product!

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Hi there,

I purchased this great piece of Hardware about 1.5 months ago and used it intensively since I received it. I posted a blogpost about it here: https://knodderdachs.de/2017/07/16/mooltipass-mini-meine-erfahrungen/

It's in German, but hey, Google is your friend. Just do a right click in Chrome and select 'Translate to [whatever language you're speaking]' and you're done!

Best way to keep Passwords secure

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Really good way to keep passwords secure and safe:
- Encrypted
- Need a card and PIN to unlock
- No reliance on third parties to keep your passwords secure or be online
- Small neat form factor.
- Browser extensions available.

I like it!

Response from Stephan Electronics | July 14, 2017

Thanks a lot Charles!

Great bit of kit. Allow time for delivery

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Ok before I start I will say one thing I watched the online video but did no other reading of instructions. One of the tests of a product I like to do is just use it and if I get stuck it is usually because the interface is poorly designed.

I had no issues with using the Mooltipass I found it straight forward and only needed to resort to the paper instructions (which are excellent) for advanced features. I use it every day and have found it to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. The fact that I can travel with my important logins securely stored is very useful.

Two small issues that may have been brought up before but I will put them in here anyway are:

The fact that the keyboard has to be set using the App. is a bit of a pain because if you use a normal UK keyboard, as I do, and then swap to a Mac the encoding of the Chars is not correct (@ ...etc.). This is fine in the username but it will put the wrong password in if you use any special Chars so can lock you out of your account.

The second issue is where a company uses parts of passwords ( 1st char 5th char ...etc. ) I understand why this cannot be accommodated but I think it needs pointing out to potential purchasers.

Both of the above can be overcome with a bit of thought by the user but if you are using a non secure machine i.e. borrowed … etc. then it could be a security issue.

Delivery was longer than I expected coming direct from China not within Europe so allow 3 -4 weeks to be sure.

So after the negative bits above do I recommend it? Yes it is a great piece of kit and I would hate to be without it.

Response from Stephan Electronics | July 13, 2017

Hello Keith,

Thanks for your great & honest review!
Keyboard layout change on the device rather than on the app is indeed something we're currently thinking of. For your second issue, the only solution when using a non secure computer may be using a usb power bank with the mini, it'll then display your passwords on its screen.
Delivery can indeed take up to 4 weeks if shipped from China, we've recently added the option to have your order shipped from Switzerland (which is unfortunately a bit more expensive).

Enfin, un outil parfait pour la gestion des mots de passe.

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Le Mooltipass Mini fonctionne parfaitement, après quelques petites erreurs de ma part, mais heureusement, Mathieu a été très réactif pour répondre à mes soucis. " Souvent le problème en informatique vient entre le clavier et l'écran, l'utilisateur ! "

Facile a configurer, et à fonctionner, une structure de menu auto-explicative.

La qualité de construction est excellente, du beau matériel !

Une petite remarque pour les francophones, a quand le logiciel en français ?

Sinon parfait, je fais de la pub à mon travail,et surement un achat de plusieurs lecteurs à l'avenir.

Bonjour Pascal,

Arthur | June 27, 2017

Product is perfection, the supporting plugins aren't.

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

First off: the Mooltipass is excellent. There are only three passwords of mine that it can't save due to the character limit. Upon learning of this limit, my first thought was questioning why the creators didn't use a variable character length for the username and passwords per pair, instead of the fixed sizes.

Eg instead of 57 characters for a Description, 61 characters for the Username and 31 characters for the Password, having variable fields whose fields may add up to 144 (leaving 5 bytes for determining field boundaries). This would even allow much more flexibility in saving certain sensitive passwords locked under enterprise (64 or 128 character keys for example).

Aside from the curious 31 character password limit, the Mooltipass is an absolutely flawless device. At this point I am speaking only for the device itself.

HOWEVER, the plugins and applications associated are the bane of my existence.
If the Mooltipass could support Thunderbird, I'd be a happy man. (eg. Porting Firefox extensions to Thunderbird wouldn't require an entire rewrite. Being able to target Thunderbird/Icedove/etc cross-platform would be a fantastic way of gaining a lot of coverage.)
If the Firefox extension could support HTTP Basic Auth, I'd be a happier man.
If the Firefox extension installation metadata could mention that Firefox for Android isn't supported (Currently "Works with Firefox for Android 48.0 - *"), that would also be good.
Someone should 100% make a native Android app. ;)

The larger 3 passwords of mine will have to stay in my head, along with regular fights with issues software-side.

A++++ will buy an improved version if a v2 is ever made. :)

Response from Stephan Electronics | June 27, 2017

Hello Arthur,

Thanks for your great review!
We'll therefore look into supporting Thunderbird. Given that it seems their source code is shared with Firefox, we don't see why that wouldn't work! We'll also look into HTTP basic auth support, which currently works on Chrome.

Best way to keep track of your passwords

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

So far, the Mooltipass is the only way to store my passwords that I haven't seen a news article about it being hacked or shown to be programmed by people who make poor design choices. I really love the new Mini compared to the original touchscreen version. The jog wheel makes it much easier to enter the unlock pin faster. It is super easy to use, and generating long, randomly-generated passwords is easy to do with the MooltiApp or the browser plugins.

The Mooltipass is also the only open source password keeper in production of which I know. With the design fails of LastPass and the hack of OneLogin, I just can't trust a system that hides their code thinking that is one method for keeping my identity secured. I would rather the code be visible up front so that security researchers will be able to spot any problems without having to race against the "Black Hats" looking for hidden vulnerabilities.

So far, the only thing I dislike about it is that it takes about three weeks to get to the USA from Switzerland (well, that and I want an orange one!). I imagine that if it was any faster, it would probably cost much more money to ship, though.

Overall a good product

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Took longer than I thought to arrive (about 3-4weeks). The product is easy to use and not hard to understand for those who aren't tech savvy. Only thing I believe would be better is if you could copy and paste information from notepad to the application. It's time consuming transferring so many usernames and passwords. But this is exactly why I purchased this product! Good experience so far.

Defective card (1/4)

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Hello, the item works great, but one card is defective. (can send pictures if necessary. Device says 'Unknown card'). Would you offer me the shipping on another card purchase ? So I can order 5 or maybe 10 cards. Best regards.

Response from Stephan Electronics | June 16, 2017

Hello Jerome,

The unknown card message happens because your mini doesn't recognize the card you inserted. Is it possible that you deleted a user without deleting its card?
If so, simply send us a message at support[at]themooltipass[dot]com and we will let you know how to reset the card.

Good device for securely managing passwords and logins

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I bought this device to help me securely manage all my passwords and be able to use it for safely logging in from multiple devices. For the most part the Mooltipass has accomplished this. Here are my pros and cons after having used the Mooltipass for about a week:

Pros:

-Well made.
-Easy to use.
-Best method I have found for keeping your passwords as safe as possible.
-Nice clear/bright screen.
-Wheel works well as input method.
-Comes with 2 smart cards so you can clone a backup.
-With proper cables, works with IOS and Android as USB keyboard.

Cons:

-Can't display text of login or password on the Mooltipass screen. This would be helpful for devices that don't accept USB keyboard.
-Import CSV requires you to confirm each entry with a wheel click. I had around 200, requiring 200 wheel clicks.
-For IOS/Android, no way provided to turn on screen keyboard on and off while Mooltipass connected. You must unplug Mooltipass from phone/tablet to get on screen keyboard back.

Response from Stephan Electronics | June 12, 2017

Hello Nancy,

Thanks for your great review!
Actually logins and passwords can be displayed on the mini screen when powering the mini through a USB power bank and enabling the correct option in the settings tab of our app.
You'll be also happy to hear that you can display the android (I think also iOS) onscreen keyboard by going to your phone settings panel!

Excellent tool - very expensive shipping

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

The product idea is really very good, very easy to use in most case.
The big improvement to do is, i think, the shipping price that can be, with customs fee, very high - really too high for me (basically x2 with customs fee > 60$). However, good point for shipping is that was fast, faster that i can imagine. (few days). But you must find a solution to lower the shipping price (country's resellers ? Amazon ?).
The next good improvement, maybe for next version, is to have a double connection cable (to have compatibility out-of-the-box to all devices, including smartphone).
A great improvement can be to allow to change of some device settings from the device instead of MooltiApp. It can be usefull for keyboard layout, slow computer or the brightness settings for example.

But these are only improvements, for a first version, this is really amazing, everything is made to have full security, even little things !

Great device now working perfectly on Linux! I love it!

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I‘ve been using and getting used to my Mooltipass Mini over the past two weeks, mainly on Arch Linux and Iceweasel.
At first I had some minor problems with the Moolticute app (or the extension?). I often had to restart the app because it seemed the Mini didn‘t stay connected. Very recently I did not experience that behaviour anymore. The Mini stays unlocked and offers to fill in the credentials as expected. I love it!

I‘d love to see support for the Icecat in the future.

Thanks for building such a wonderful device. The quality is great and it is easy to work with. I highly recommend this little device! It shows that it is possible to combine security and convenience.

Response from Stephan Electronics | May 28, 2017

Hello Andreas,
Thanks for your amazing review! We indeed recently improved our extension to provide better stability and are also very happy with it. We'll therefore look into icecat support!

Still in it's infancy but works well.

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

My memory is fading, and unfortunately the security requirements that each password be unique and strange is frankly impossible.
I am dubious about bequeathing my secure details to a machine, but less so than passing them on to the net.
I have a couple of issues with mooltipass which I have not seen an answer to yet. But as I have not seen the question raised perhaps that is because no one else has the issues?
Doesn't seem to want to record gmail, google, or thunderbird passwords. I would have thought email would have been a priority.
It took me twenty minutes this morning to get it to correctly remember my Choice password correctly though it generated it itself easily enough. This may have been because it had a past password to confuse it. It may also be something to do with me not yet disabling firefox's password remembering system. Not sure which over rides which, but not yet ready to dump either.
The "make password visible" icon on Choice is superimposed by the key icon of mooltipass. Multiple clicking and going back is annoying. Is there some way to automatically avoid overlapping icons. I am using Cinnamon.
Sometimes the password insertion tags on to the end of whatever is in the field already. Clearing the field first would seem to be a good idea. (Of course I could do this myself, and sometimes remeber to. Just as I sometimes remember to put two m's in remember.)
I have a bank account which has a username and password and a digitally generated key. I dearly want to dump the firefox remembering system as it wants to fill in all fields.
So far I am happy. A bit caught between wanting to pay attention to what is going on and yet wishing to just get on with blithely paying no attention to security at all. That is the conundrum of us all of course.

Hello Nolan,

Great product, works a treat but took over 4 weeks to get to

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

Once I'd got my head around all the options, and downloaded the plugins and apps it is wonderful.
Spent two days batting all my logon details entered and generating more secure but non-memorable passwords for the important accounts.
Cloned my card, and put the copy in the safe.
Now it is basically seamless, the chrome plugin recognises most logon screens and a few clicks on the mooltipass and I'm in.

Great, considering getting a second one just for work..

Response from Stephan Electronics | May 23, 2017

Fantastic Device and Seller.

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I ordered this Item and the first package was lost by DHL when it was closer to my end of the shipping process. Not the sellers fault. I contacted the seller about the issue and I had a device in my hands in almost 72 hours. I couldn't have asked for better service. The seller was pleasant work with.
Now onto the device. The device is well built and feels very sturdy in hand. Fully open source and every easy to use and setup with little to no knowledge. The documentation is written well.
You can only do so much when it comes to personal security and having unique all passwords for all accounts is very important. This device makes things so much easier for me because I move between multiple computers and still having access to all of my accounts without leaving a password DB from a password manager on every computer I own and use at work. I can use one device with a couple of cards is great for separation of work and personal accounts.

PRO's:
1. Build Quality is great
2. User Friendly
3. Fantastic seller
4. Open Source

CON's:
I only have one gripe with the device and that is the 31 character limit which really isn't an issue because that exceeds the NIST character requirements. I'm just a paranoid person and would like to be able to use 64 char passwords when allowed.

I would recommend this device to others.

We're also glad this unfortunate shipping experience was quickly resolved!

Best Password Manager Available

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

I'm very happy with my Mooltipass :) After backing the Kickstarter campaign, I purchased additional Mooltipass devices for friends and family. The only secure place for secrets (passwords, encryption keys, etc) is offline and encrypted. The Mooltipass security model is far more secure than software-based password managers. The hardware is well-designed and the community behind the device is welcoming and responsive. Amazing product and an amazing group of people behind it!

Very good device - still new

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

This is a very good device; I like the perfect finish of the product; the metal case is superb, the navigation easy; screen size is just gorgeous.

I don't use Chrome, which is the product's main target on the PC, so I'm just reviewing when using Firefox.

Both on the Mac and on the Windows the device is not always detected - sometimes yes, sometimes no. The companion application is installed. Even when detected, when unlocked, on the browser still shows as locked.
I'm pretty sure these will be eventually be solved in further software upgrades.

As a hardware maker too, I congratulate on the very well executed hardware! It's a wonderful device and I'm sure to use it more and more!

Response from Stephan Electronics | May 18, 2017

You are actually right: a fix for this particular issue is about to be released for the Firefox extension (version .81).

Amazing security gadget

For Mooltipass Mini Offline Password Keeper

The shipping was little halting and took three weeks to arrive. This could/should be improved imho.
The unit itself arrrived in a nice small cardboard, with USB cable, grab strap and two Smartcards. Sadly my unit has tiny scratches on its surface - but i got instantly offered a replacement or partitial refund, top!

The Moltipass works like a charm:
Easy to setup and operate, self-explaining menu structure. The build quality is excellent and valuable. A nice piece of hardware!
I already bought a second one but there`s more to come!

My recommendation for everyone who likes to be independent from stationary software solutions.

Response from Stephan Electronics | May 15, 2017

Thanks for your great review Markus!
Offering you a refund or replacement was the least we could do. Shipping may indeed take a little while when shipped from Switzerland or Hong Kong when choosing non-DHL couriers. We therefore updated our shipping options descriptions to reflect that.
