A Unique World-Wide Collaboration Around an Open Source Offline Password Keeper, 54% funded in 7daysBy: Mooltipass 
mooltipass_left Logins and passwords are critical elements we need to remember to access the different websites and services we use daily. To achieve good security, each of these credential sets should be unique and passwords should be long and complex. But remembering many long complex credentials is hard. We therefore created the Mooltipass, a physical encrypted password keeper that remembers your credentials so you don't have to. With this device, you can generate and safely store long and complex passwords unique to each website you use. A personal PIN-locked smartcard allows the decryption of your credentials and ensures that only you have access to them. Simply visit a website and the device will ask for your confirmation to enter your credentials when login is required. Dozens of contributors from all over the globe got together to work on this device that offers significant advantages over closed or software based password keepers: - Better security: Mooltipass emulates a standard keyboard and types your passwords for you only when you allow it to. - A non-proprietary device: Anyone can develop new tools for Mooltipass. - An open-source platform: Being able to read our source code allows everyone to check and enhance the security of the Mooltipass. - A trusted platform: Only code that has been tested by the developers and reviewed by the community is running on the Mooltipass, ensuring that no viruses or malicious programs compromise your stored credentials. Popular password keepers such as Lastpass or Keepass use an encrypted database on your computer and a master passphrase to decrypt it. This means that at a given moment both your passphrase and database are in your computer's memory, which is why all your passwords could be compromised at once by a malicious program without you knowing it. If you look at our crowdfunding campaign's video we explain in details these problems. The Mooltipass is developped by non-paid contributors as our goal is to improve users' credentials security and offer a cheap device. We can't emphasize enough the fact that we believe that open source is the way to go when dealing with people's private credentials. No one can be 100% sure that closed solutions do only what they're supposed to. We therefore welcome you to have a glance at our crowdfunding campaign and all the articles we wrote relating our project's development process. As you can see, from the project's start we always included interested persons when major decisions needed to be made. Photo: https://www.prlog.org/ End
