For people who have NOT joined the #Signet project, nor bought a device. I want to hear from you.

Too expensive ($45)?

Don't feel it's more secure than pure software?

Don't feel you can trust it?

Don't use a password database?

Not enough time to help (provide feedback, report bugs, contribute code, etc.)?

What's holding you back and how can we fix it?

Looks interesting. This is the first I've heard of the project. I would definitely need USB-C to make much use of one. Also, given that it can produce a backup file and I would need to store that securely, I'm not sure I see value over and above something like Vaultwarden/Bitwarden. But it is definitely something to think about.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm working on a model with USB-C now. 😀

One advantage over bitwarden is that the backup file can be stored offline and the device provides physical control of the passwords. Nothing has to be on an always online server.

I might add a comparison between bitwarden and Signet. I do like BitWarden and look forward to setting up a self-hosted version for an organization that I'm part of. That'll give me a deeper understanding of their internals so I can better compare and contrast.

That's a good point. I look forward to seeing the comparison.
