If you’ve ever wanted a way to create your own USB dongle to automatically enter in a randomly generated password, hacker blog Code and Life has put together a tutorial for making your own from a USB and an ATtiny85.
The hack is pretty simple. The ATtiny85 is programmed to act like a USB keyboard that enters in the password and then additional software can automatically create a new password when you need it. If you like to change your password at certain time intervals, it’s not a bad trick to creating a complex password you don’t have to remember. Hit up the full post on Code and Life for a complete walkthrough and link to the source files.
