A yubikey can only store one password, so you can't use it to log into accounts that take passwords, enter passwords to decrypt files and so forth. It does second factor auth, FIDO2 auth and things of that nature.

#Signet does store passwords (and other secrets like seed phrases, answers to security questions, and so forth).

The current firmware doesn't have the ability to sign nostr notes, but that could be added. Plus, it's open source so you don't need my permission to patch that feature in. 🙂

#Signet is an open source project, so we don't have a well funded marketing department. We have me, posting notes on nostr, trying to spread the good word that there are non-corporate, non-centralized, hardware based solutions to password management. ✊

Wow that sounds amazing! So it's like the hardware version of KeePass?

I see a KeePass mirror on your gitlab. Does it already synchronize the passwords stored in the hardware with KeePass?

Yeah, you can import keepass files, and this is how I keep things synced personally. I haven't worked on exporting to Keepass format, so I only mske changes in Keepass and then periodically re-import.

i will look, t-y!

Yup, exactly.

I want to buy one! I live in a semi. How can I get one shipped to me?

How do you get anything you buy online shipped to you? Do you have a PO box or UPS box or something that you drive by from time to time? I'll ship it anywhere in the USA. Can be a friend or relative's home, their employer, or whatever. Doesn't matter to me.

OK, I've got to time it right... If I miss the timing, it sits too long and they return it. I'm thinking about it now...

Not a problem. Take your time
