A Portable Password Vault

[rgsparber]

I try to be security-minded, so my passwords are long and filled with every type of character. When I must manually enter such a password, it takes a lot of effort, and I often screw up a character, so I must start over. My solution was to build the Portable Password Vault. It consists of a Sparkfun Pro Micro, a pushbutton, and a short USB cable.

To use the Vault, I plug it into the PC via a USB port. Then I click on the login window and push the button. My login appears. After clicking Next, I push the button again. This time I get the password. Unplug the Portable Password Vault. No fuss and no frustration.
