The Mooltipass Mini BLE is designed to help you keep all of your credentials secure, while still leaving them easy for you to access no matter where you need them. Whether you're looking to improve your existing password management and authentication methods, or just starting to explore how to manage them all, the Mini BLE has something for you! The Mini BLE connects to **any USB or BLE-capable device** (phone, tablet, computer, etc). To use it, all you need to do is insert your personal smartcard, unlock it with your PIN, and start using your device. You'll be able to log in anywhere with a quick tap on the desk or a few tweaks of the scroll wheel! ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") -------------------------- But What Can It Do, Exactly? ------------------ ![Mooltipass Mini BLE Logging In](https://www.limpkin.fr/public/tindie_minible/minible_login.gif "Mooltipass Mini BLE Logging In") Over **Bluetooth Low Energy or USB**, your Mooltipass Mini BLE can: - Automatically log you into websites on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari or Opera - **Behave like a keyboard** to type credentials or text on any device - Let you use the secure **WebAuthn** authentication technology - Display text and credentials on its OLED screen - Automatically log you in to your computer - Store and recall small files or notes For more details about its other advanced features, have a glance at [our user manual](https://github.com/mooltipass/minible/raw/master/MooltipassMiniBLEUserManual.pdf). And because our device is **completely open-source**, the Mooltipass team – together with contributors from all over the globe – is continuously adding new features. Even after your device reaches your doorstep, you'll be able to update it securely to get new functionality. ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") -------------------------- The Unique Mooltipass Mini BLE Architecture ------------------ ![Mooltipass Mini BLE Architecture](https://www.limpkin.fr/public/tindie_minible/minible_architecture.png "Mooltipass Mini BLE Architecture") For maximum device security, the Mooltipass team decided to split our device 'brain' in two. **One processor is in charge of the complex protocols for communicating** with the outside world, while the other **handles all security-related features**. While this substantially increased our development effort, it also dramatically increases security. ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") -------------------------- Customize Your Security Level ------------------ ![Notifications or Prompts](https://www.limpkin.fr/public/tindie_minible/minible_notif_prompt.png "Notifications or Prompts") When it comes to security, we all have our preferences. Some prefer letting the device do what it needs to, while others prefer to approve each operation that needs to be performed. That's why the Mooltipass Mini BLE includes both an "easy" and an "advanced" mode. The latter allows you to customize your security preferences and enables other advanced features such as **credential categories**. Want to know more? Have a look at [our user manual](https://github.com/mooltipass/minible/raw/master/MooltipassMiniBLEUserManual.pdf). ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") -------------------------- Multiple Users, Multiple Cards... I'm Lost! ------------------ ![Mini BLE Working Principle](https://www.limpkin.fr/public/tindie_minible/minible_principle.jpg "Mini BLE Working Principle") We realize that all the possibilities that the Mooltipass ecosystem offers can be confusing at first. Here's what you should know about Mooltipass devices: - **One Mini BLE can be shared by multiple people**, each with their own card - **One person can use multiple Mooltipass Minis**, the same card for all of them - **Smartcards can be cloned safely** without compromising security - **Credentials are encrypted** safely inside the Mooltipass Mini BLE - **Credentials can be exported safely** – backups are encrypted! - **You only need to remember one card PIN** to access all your credentials ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") -------------------------- WebAuthn Passwordless Authentication ------------------ ![Mini BLE and WebAuthn](https://www.limpkin.fr/public/tindie_minible/minible_webauthn.png "Mini BLE and WebAuthn") You may have heard about **WebAuthn**. To simplify a bit, it makes **passwords obsolete** by authenticating you securely with signed cryptographic challenges. You simply need to approve a prompt on the device and – ta-da! – you're logged in. Yes, the **Mooltipass Mini BLE supports it**! ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") -------------------------- The Mooltipass Mini BLE Software Companion ------------------ ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") ![Mini BLE and Moolticute](https://www.limpkin.fr/public/tindie_minible/minible_moolticute.png "Mini BLE and Moolticute") **Moolticute** was created 5 years ago by one of our contributors and, soon after, became the official open-source software companion for Mooltipass devices. Among others, Moolticute allows you to: - Use native integration on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and Opera - Import, export and synchronize your credentials - Fully customize your Mooltipass device behavior - Save and recall files stored on the device - Add, delete and modify your credentials - Mass import unencrypted credentials - Update your device securely ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") -------------------------- Device Languages, Unicode Support ------------------ ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") ![Multiple Languages](https://www.limpkin.fr/public/tindie_minible/minible_unicode.gif "Multiple Languages") Languages are regularly being added to our device. At the time of writing, the Mooltipass Mini BLE supports English, German, Spanish, French, Slovenian, Portuguese, Croatian, and Finnish. If you'd like to help us add others, please get in touch with us! ![](http://www.limpkin.fr/public/mooltipass_mini/10px.png "") -------------------------- Hardware Specifications ------------------ ![Mini BLE Insides](https://www.limpkin.fr/public/tindie_minible/minible_inside.jpeg "Mini BLE Insides") The Mooltipass Mini BLE is designed with you in mind. It is made of scratch-resistant aluminum and is small enough to be carried in your pocket. Compared to our previous device, the mini BLE includes a **new ruggedized scroll wheel** for an easy scrolling experience through your credentials. The Mini BLE full specifications are: - Device Size: 89 x 35.5 x 12.5mm - Working Voltage: 4.75V to 5.25V - Battery Type: NiMH 300mAh - Connector: USB-C 2.0 - Internal Memory: 8Mb - Smart Card Support: AT88SC102 - True Random Number Generation - Interface Type: Clickable Scroll Wheel - Case Material: Brushed Anodized Aluminum - Display: 256x64 4bits per pixel 2.08" White OLED Screen Please note that due to our new secure case locking mechanism, some Mini BLE devices might have a small rattling noise, which doesn't have any impact on the device longevity. -------------------------- Notes on Shipping ------------------ Your order will be shipped from China.
