Securely encrypt passwords with Nitrokey Pro 2

Conclusions

The Nitrokey Pro 2 is a useful helper. The matching app is easy to install and use. You can put your credentials in a digital safe and have a tool at hand to generate one-time passwords for more secure logins to online services.

Because an OpenPGP card is integrated, you won't even need a card reader if you choose the Nitrokey. The Nitrokey Storage 2 model also comes with encrypted mass storage, but you will have to pay a little extra.
