Steemit's First TREZOR! Paid For With Steem Dollars!!

in security •  8 years ago 

@bacchist: nice review! Have you tried the password manager functionality? I am thinking of buying a Trezor for that, but last I heard it was limited to dropbox backup of the encrypted blob, and the only way to manage passwords was a Chrome extension. Do you know if there has been any improvement, like for example a separate password manager tool / script, and more generic webdav / http put blob storage?

I haven't gotten that far into it, yet. But looking at the online documentation, it seems that is the only way. It is a Chrome extension and linked to a Dropbox. It does seem like there could be a better solution than that.

The Password Manager is in Beta and it's being continuously developed. More features are coming, including the support of Google Drive as a cloud storage. We want to make sure everything runs perfectly before releasing an update, so it might take a bit :)

Please make TPM support for iphone and android!

I've used the Trezor password manager for about a month now. It works well, but not perfectly. About 15% of the websites I use have a non standard way of logging in that the Trezor password manager is not compatible with. To my great disappointment, Steemit is one of the non standard websites that don't work. Oddly, about 30% of my Trezor log in attempts fail on the first attempt: the website pops up fine, but the login form is blank. When I click the Trezor log in and hardware button again, it usually logs in fine. If my Trezor is put away, I just continue using my wiki text based password system as the Trezor doesn't work well enough to replace it. For cryptocurrencies, the Trezor is awesome and I highly recommend it.
