ESP32-P4 security key features 2-inch touchscreen, 3,000+ password capacity (Crowdfunding)

MiixKeyPro (previously MiixKey) is a compact, offline ESP32-P4-based hardware security key and password manager that securely stores passwords, passkeys, NFC cards, and smart card credentials in a single portable device. It features a 2-inch touchscreen and is designed for users, developers, enterprises, government staff, and cybersecurity professionals who need secure offline credential management without relying on cloud services or smartphone apps.

Previously, we wrote about security keys like the YubiKey and Google Titan Security Key, which are great for FIDO2 and U2F login, but they don’t have a display or user interface, so managing passwords or switching credentials usually requires a phone or computer. MiixKeyPro fixes this by adding a touchscreen and allowing the user to manage over 3,000 passwords fully offline.

Unlike typical security keys like Diabolic Parasite and Tillitis Tkey, which offer only a single slot, MiixKeyPro comes with five independent slots, each functioning like its own security key with a separate PIN. Every slot supports FIDO2, PIV, and OpenPGP, and can hold up to 64 FIDO2 passkeys, for a total of 320 across the device. With the built-in screen, you can enter, search, and edit credentials directly on the device, so your data never has to touch an internet-connected system. It also supports importing passwords from KeePass or KeePassXC (KDBX files) for offline use and can act as an HID device over USB or Bluetooth to enable smooth auto-fill across different devices.

The device also supports custom scripts and BADUSB functionality, allowing it to emulate a keyboard and automate keystrokes or complex commands. It includes a built-in TOTP generator for 2FA, removing the need for smartphone apps, with all operations performed locally without cloud or online dependencies.

Since the device operates fully offline, there is no password recovery option, so you must have backups and redundancy in place. Best practice is to use multiple hardware keys registered to important accounts, keep a secure offline backup of the KeePass (KDBX) database, and store service-provided recovery codes. Without these precautions, losing the device will result in permanent loss of access to stored credentials.

The MiixKeyPro is now available on Kickstarter, where it has already surpassed its 10,000 HKD (~$1,276 US) funding goal. Early Bird rewards start at approximately $99 US, with a “Kickstarter Special” price of $109. Shipping is estimated to begin in July 2026.

Update: We’ve received the following email and updated the name from MiixKey to MiixKeyPro as requested:

Hello,

Thank you very much for recommending our Kickstarter project — it has been a great help to us.

However, we just discovered today that someone has maliciously registered the product name “miixkey” as a domain and stolen a large number of our images. You can see that the domain was registered on May 10, while our Kickstarter project was launched on May 2. They have also posted a lot of false information on the site.

We now wish to change the product name to MiixProKey. We kindly hope you can update the name of the product in your article to MiixProKey to prevent others from being misled or scammed.
