- Store locally encrypted text snippets onto buttons that will type them on other devices. - Use existing password manager integration to define more buttons or to input them as-needed onto another device. - Leverage your phone's existing security and convenience technology to prevent unauthorized transmission of stored snippets. - Use the convenience to train yourself to use stronger passwords as you no longer need to worry about having to struggle to type them in. - Use the Web Target to send to a browser, useful for special situations where you may not be authorized to install software or plug in physical devices. - Use the hardware dongle to finally allow the use of a password manager for use with full disk encryption on computers and other situations where a hardware USB keyboard is the only efficient way to input text. - Use the desktop software to avoid using a USB slot or dealing with a dongle at all.
