No cloud. No sync. No account.
The database is encrypted with AES-128 and stays in the unit. There is nothing to breach on a server, because there is no server.
Your passwords, on hardware you can hold.
Seclave is a dedicated password device. Your secrets live in it — never in the computer's memory, never in the cloud — and nothing leaves the unit unless you approve it on the device itself.
Invented, designed, manufactured and assembled in Sweden.
01 — why a device
Offline by design. Not offline by promise.
You approve every transfer.
Each step is shown on the device's own display and confirmed with its joystick. Only the secret you choose leaves the unit.
Hard to brute-force. On purpose.
A secure-memory chip guards the master key with a hardware attempt counter — four wrong tries and it locks. Key recovery is made very expensive in resources.
02 — how it works
Three steps. No software required.
Pick the entry
Browse your passwords on the device — by recent use, by name, or by group. Up to 500 entries.
Read it, or let it type
Read the password from the display, or plug in over USB and the device types it for you, acting as a keyboard. Typed this way, the password is never stored on the computer.
Nothing else leaves
Encrypted backups export over USB too — and restore onto any unit with a backup key shown only on the device.
03 — datasheet
The facts, plainly.
| Trusted path | 128×32 display + 5-way joystick. Every secret transfer is shown and confirmed on the unit. |
|---|---|
| Storage | Up to 500 entries — label, group, username, password, optional field — encrypted with AES-128. |
| Master key | Two-word diceware master password; hardware secure memory with an attempt counter that locks after 4 wrong tries. |
| Randomness | NIST CTR-DRBG. Password generators: words, entropy target, length, PIN, or "Guide me!". |
| USB — keyboard | Types passwords into any computer. Ten keyboard layouts, each in PC and Mac modes. No drivers, no host software needed. |
| USB — backup | Appears as a small USB disk for encrypted, tamper-proof backups. Restore onto any unit with the 32-character backup key. |
| USB — integration | Serial protocol with device-side access control, for the KeePass plugin and command-line tools. |
| Power | Battery powered, automatic power-off, backlight dimming. |
| Origin | Seclave AB, Sweden. Invented, designed, manufactured and assembled in-house. |
04 — for organizations
Strict password policies your staff will actually follow.
Employees are expected to keep many unique passwords and to change them often. Many find that hard without writing passwords down. With Seclave, administrators can set strict password policies and be confident they are observed — each employee carries their credentials in a dedicated, locked device instead of a notebook or a browser.
