Meet The Mooltipass Mini BLE

Mooltipass Mini BLE

Our online lives are always expanding and along with new territory come new credentials and new ways of authentication... leading us to experience security fatigue.
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! 10px.png


But What Can It Do, Exactly?

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.
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. 10px.png


The Unique Mooltipass Mini BLE Architecture

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.

Customize Your Security Level

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.

Multiple Users, Multiple Cards... I'm Lost!

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

WebAuthn Passwordless Authentication

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!

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
