Yup I want to love it, the form factor and security is great. But there is something I had a hard time with, I think it was the pass phase UX (I kept making mistakes) but it’s been a while so I could be wrong.
I can't imagine typing in your random, password manager generated BIP39 passphrase using the physical, tap-on buttons. 😆
That would explain why you'd be opposed to it. I always used it without passphrase, just the one simple password for it.
Yes the interactions with the device are really cool when you get the hang of them I think you’re right, it was just a bit error prone when trying to enter an arbitrary string.
