There is an option for using security keys when trying to log in to Google.

Is it possible to use the HW.1 key to secure my Google account while also using it to secure my Bitcoin wallet?

no, it's unfortunately not possible. The U2F implementation is done on a different firmware version requiring attestation keys that are installed at factory personalization time

Seems like a good project, keep it up and I hope these smart cards can get made! Smiley

well the cards are made and actually quite popular at TNABC Smiley

I got one yesterday in the mail. can't get any computer to even recognize it. how do i tell if it's dead or something? spent like 2 hours with it, waste of time so far... Sad

Edit - two windows 7 64-bit - even tried old drivers etc. nothing seems to work ... Windows device manager sees nothing at all, no matter what usb port i try. 1 Dell laptop and 1 ASUS home built desktop.

ps i tried on linux mint as well, but i didn't get very far at all before giving up there too.  (Older laptop).

thanks for any help.
