HIDeKey

Tired of entering long and difficult passwords? HIDeKey is a tiny USB dongle which acts as a virtual USB keyboard. It stores your user / password combinations on the encrypted EEPROM of the microcontroller.

  • Create one time passwords (OTP)
  • Store and generate long & secure passwords
  • Single button interface

Originally I decided to design the tiny USB dongle by myself. But after some research, I discovered the really cheap (~3$) USBasp clones from China: HIDeKey is compatible with most of the V-USB hardware designs.

USBasp 1
USBasp 2
USBasp 3

The firmware available at Codeberg: /stv0g/hidekey .

HIDeKey uses V-USB from Objective Development, a software based USB stack for Atmel AVRs.
