Everyone should have one of these.
I'm an Old School computer/IT person, as well as a network security professional. Which means I'm always -- always -- telling people how important it is to keep your passwords secure, having different passwords for every single account you have, use a password manager if you need to, etc.Course I don't really practice what I preach.Or rather, I didn't used to. Because... I mean, even I don't want to type in a 16-character password that looks like a cartoon swearword a dozen or so times a day.Inputstick solves this. It types the password FOR you. Plug it into a computer, choose the account on your cellphone and wham. Password typed.There are password managers with built-in support, too, which save you a couple of steps.This is a great product.

A bit pricey, but very handy for complete control
I'm a computer tech and I am often working on multiple computers, laptops and desktops, and it can be surprisingly frustrating to ensure I have a keyboard and mouse to control the computers I'm working on. I do always have my phone, and this dongle requires no batteries, so now I always have a means to control whatever I'm working on. It's pricey but well worth it to me. My only advice would be to ensure this is what you want. If you need to be able to fully control the computer with your phone, then this is what you want. If you mostly just want to control a home theater PC or some other more specific task, then there's better and more affordable remotes, etc. available for those types of tasks.

Great little device, could have a more secure way to keep it.
I use this with my favorite password manager keypass. Paired to my phone it makes managing passwords a snap. My only complaint is that there is no way to securely attach it to a lanyard or keyring.

Worth every penny.
Been using it a couple years now, absolutely fantastic device. If not for the price I'd buy a few and leave them attached to various devices permanently, but even having to move it around, it's well worth the cost. AES encryption over Bluetooth is a nice perk as well, and seems to help cut down on potential issues from interference.

Must have accessory
This thing is awesome. Great for inputting passwords from Keepass2Android, and also doubles as a keyboard/mouse when on the go.

Works, but the software needs work and more devs
While this works pretty well, I wish I could use it easily with more password managers than Keepass, but that will require devs doing more.
