RPi Zero WiFi-Enabled Hardware Password Manager
Source: hackaday.io
This project creates a portable password manager using a Raspberry Pi Zero configured as a composite USB device that emulates a keyboard and network adapter. It utilizes the Unix 'pass' software to securely store passwords and allows users to manage and input credentials via an on-device OLED screen and button matrix.
