I. Mooltipass Mini BLE Device
A) Introduction
The Mooltipass Team would like to thank you for purchasing the Mooltipass Mini BLE, the third
device in the Mooltipass family. We’ve worked hard to make it the most usable and secure
authenticator in the market and we hope you’ll feel that way too.
This manual presents the different features offered by the Mooltipass Mini BLE. It will be
updated as new ones are added. The latest version is always available at
https://www.themooltipass.com/setup.
B) Important Concepts
When using the Mooltipass, it is useful to keep the following points in mind in order to use all
features that the Mooltipass Mini BLE offers:
1) Each user is identified to the Mooltipass by a personal card or one of its clones
2) Multiple users can share one Mooltipass device
3) User password databases are stored on the device and can be exported for backup or cloning
4) By cloning the database, a user can use multiple devices
C) Getting Started
The Mooltipass Mini BLE is battery powered.
To switch it on, click on the wheel or connect a
plugged in USB-C cable to it.
When it’s first powered on, you’ll be invited to
select the device default language. Simply scroll
to the desired language and click to approve.
A device tutorial will be shown next.
Scroll or click to see each screen.

5
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25
To get started, you need to set up a new
Mooltipass user.
Simply insert one of the cards that came with
the device into the Mooltipass Mini BLE.
The Mooltipass Mini BLE will prompt you to
create a new user.
Click the wheel to accept the request. Scrolling
to the cross icon and clicking, or holding the
wheel button (a “long click”) will deny the
request.
Next, setup your Personal Identification Number
(PIN). Each of the four PIN characters can be one
of the digits 0-9 or one of the letters A-F.
Scroll the wheel to select the desired character
and click to move to the next position. A long
click will go back one position to let you change
the previous character.
Re-enter the same PIN you selected in the
previous step to confirm it.
If you’re a novice user and prefer your device to
be as automatic as possible, by, for example,
automatically approving credential requests for
you, approve the “Simple Mode” prompt.
You can always change your choice later.
Congratulations, your Mooltipass Mini BLE and
the smart card are set up and ready for use!
The Mooltipass Mini BLE now displays the main
menu.
To be safe if you were to lose your smartcard, we
recommend you to clone it (see Cloning your
Card).

D) Bluetooth Operation
To enable Bluetooth on the Mooltipass Mini BLE,
scroll to and then select the ‘Bluetooth’ item in
the main menu.
You’ll be prompted to enable Bluetooth on the
Mooltipass if it isn’t already active.
When Bluetooth is active, the Bluetooth icon will
appear in the device tray in the lower right
corner of the screen.
a) Connecting to a New Device
To connect to a new device such as a phone or a
computer, select the menu item shown here.
Then use that device’s Bluetooth user interface
to pair with the Mooltipass Mini BLE.
The Mooltipass Mini BLE will display this screen
while waiting for your device to pair with it. Your
device will generate and display a pairing PIN.
When the device has generated the PIN, the
Mooltipass Mini BLE will prompt you to enter it.
Enter the PIN and the Mooltipass Mini BLE will
connect to your device.
When wirelessly connected to your device, the
Bluetooth logo will display arrows around it.

7
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25
b) Deleting Pairings
The ‘Delete Pairings’ menu item erases the
pairing information of all devices the Mooltipass
Mini BLE has been paired with. When
performing this operation, make sure to also
erase the matching Mooltipass pairing on the
devices.
c) Disabling Bluetooth
The ‘Disable Bluetooth’ menu item allows you to
disable the Bluetooth interface. Disabling
Bluetooth just turns it off, it does not delete the
pairings.
d) Switching Between Bluetooth Devices
If your Mooltipass Mini BLE is paired with
several devices, you can use the “Disconnect
Device” menu item to temporarily disconnect
the Mini BLE from the currently connected
device, allowing another Bluetooth device to
connect to it.

E) Credentials Storage and Recall
a) Credentials Storage
While the Mooltipass works with any device
right out of the box, our app and extension make
things even easier when using your favorite web
browser.
For extension & app installation files, visit
http://www.themooltipass.com/setup
After installing, simply visit any website login
page and enter your login and password. The
Mooltipass Mini BLE will detect this and ask if
you want to store the website, login and
password. Click the wheel to approve storing
your credentials.
Credentials can also be added directly using the
Moolticute App (see the Adding or Updating a
Credential Credentials section of the Moolticute
User’s Guide).
b) Credentials Recall
Typically, you login to a website by typing your username and password for that site. Some
websites use FIDO2 / WebAuthn or Time-Based One Time Password to login, either in addition to or
instead of a username and password. Mooltipass supports all three methods.
For username and password login, your Mooltipass device will behave in one of two ways
depending on how it is configured. (See Enabling Advanced Mode / Enabling Simple Mode and Login
Notification / Prompt).
Notification Mode
In Simple Mode or with login prompts disabled in
Advanced Mode, the Mooltipass Mini BLE will
inform you when automatically logging you into
websites.
Prompt Mode
In Advanced Mode with login prompts enabled,
the Mooltipass Mini BLE will prompt you to
approve sending credentials.

9
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25
c) FIDO2 / WebAuthn Credentials
The Mooltipass Mini BLE natively supports
FIDO2 / WebAuthn based credentials. The
Mooltipass Mini BLE interacts with them like any
other kind of credential. You can test and read
more about WebAuthn technology here.
d) Time-Based One Time Passwords (TOTP)
Time-Based One Time Passwords can be setup
using the Moolticute companion app. Once
added to your Mooltipass Mini BLE, follow the
steps described in Manual Login to type TOTP
tokens.
TOTP tokens can also be viewed by denying the
typing prompts, as shown in Manual Login –
Favorites Menu.

10
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25
E) Manual Login
If you're not using a web browser and need to
log in, you can use Manual Login to “type” the
credentials.
Position the typing cursor on the connected
device so that you could type the username then
select “Login” on the Mooltipass main menu.
Use the wheel interface to scroll to the service
you want to log into and click the wheel to select
it.
To scroll more quickly through the list, push and
hold the wheel while scrolling. This scrolls by the
first letter of the names of the services.
If more than one credential set is stored for a
given website, you will be prompted to select
which login to use.
If the Mooltipass Mini BLE is connected to
different devices, one over Bluetooth and the
other over USB, you’ll be prompted to select the
output interface.
The Mooltipass Mini BLE then prompts you for
permission to send your username to the device.
If the typed username doesn't appear correctly,
make sure your keyboard layout is selected
appropriately in the ‘Device Settings’ tab of the
Moolticute app (see Keyboard Output).
Next the Mooltipass prompts for permission to
enter your password. Reposition the typing
cursor on the connected device, if necessary, and
click the wheel.

11
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25
F) Manual Login –Favorites Menu
The Mooltipass Mini BLE provides a ‘Favorites’
menu for quick access to your most commonly
used credentials.
To select which credentials are 'favorites' use the
'Credentials' tab of the Moolticute app (see
Credential Management).
In the main menu, select the ‘Favorites” item to
show your favorite credentials.
Select the desired credential set using the wheel
interface.
As before, approve or deny the username entry
request.
And then approve or deny the password entry
requests.
If you deny both username and password
prompts, the Mooltipass Mini BLE will ask if
you’d like to display your credential on its
screen.

12
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25
G) Operations Menu
The Mooltipass Mini BLE has an ‘Operations’
menu that provides access to some important
features.
From the main menu, select the ‘Operations’
item.
You will be presented with the available options,
which are outlined below.
a) Enabling Advanced Mode / Enabling Simple Mode
You can switch between the advanced and
simple mode using this menu item.
b) Changing the Card PIN
In the Operations menu, select the ‘Change pin’
item.
Enter your old PIN.
Enter your new PIN.
Confirm your new PIN.

13
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25
c) Cloning your Card
Credentials are stored inside the device, not in
your card. We recommend you make a clone of
your card and keep it in a safe place so that you
can use it to access your credentials if your
regular card is lost or damaged. In the operations
menu, select the ‘Clone Card’ item.
Enter your PIN.
Enter the desired PIN for the new card. It can be
the same as your regular card, but this is not
required.
Confirm the PIN for the new card.
Remove your regular card.
Insert a new (empty) smart card. The Mini BLE
then initializes it with the contents (encryption
key) of your regular card, and the new PIN you
just selected.

14
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25
d) Deleting Your User Data from the Mooltipass
In the Operations menu, select the ‘Erase Profile’
item.
The Mooltipass prompts you for confirmation
that you really do want to delete all of your user
data.
Please note that this operation deletes all the
credentials stored for this user on this Mooltipass
Mini BLE. It doesn't delete credentials stored for
this user on other Mooltipass devices nor
credentials stored on this Mini BLE for other
users/cards.
Enter your PIN.
If you are really sure you want to delete your
user data from the Mooltipass Mini BLE, confirm
again.
If you are using your current smart card on other
Mooltipass devices, it is important that you deny
the request to erase the card –if you do erase
the card, it can no longer be used to access
credentials on any device.
Otherwise, accept it. This resets the card to its
original unused state.
If you erase your original card and have clones of
it that you no longer need, you should erase
them, too. Approve this request and repeat the
previous process to erase the cloned cards as
well.

15
Mooltipass Mini BLE User Manual –2021/08/25

This menu item allows you to change on the
device the keyboard layout used for manual login
“typing.”
b) Login Notification / Prompt
This menu item allows you to select whether the
Mooltipass Mini BLE should notify, or prompt you
whenever you login to a website
c) Knock Detection
When “login prompt” is enabled, this menu item
allows you to enable the knock detection feature:
when you’re prompted to login into a website,
simply knock on the same surface on which the
Mooltipass Mini BLE is placed.

This menu item allows you to change your
device’s main language.
I) Left/Right Handed Mode Change
To switch between left- and right-handed mode,
simply remove the smartcard from your Mini BLE
and hold your device the other way up. If you
deny the prompt, you may only retry after a
minute.
J) Active Category Selection (Advanced Mode Enabled)
When the device’s advanced mode is enabled,
users can select an active category.
The selected category acts as a folder, storing
new credentials inside it, and limiting credential
viewing and recall to the selected category.
4 categories are available and can be renamed
using Moolticute.
K) Other Mooltipass Mini BLE Settings
While the settings accessible in the device menu (see Settings Menu (Advanced Mode Enabled))
are applied to your user profile, your device’s behavior can further be customized by changing more
settings in the Moolticute companion app (see Device Settings).
L) Battery Usage Best Practices
The Mooltipass Mini BLE uses a Nickel Metal Hydride Battery (NiMH). For maximum battery
longevity, we recommend you we use your device until its battery is depleted. A single charge
typically lasts between 2 and 7 days, depending on how you use your device.
M) Device Emergency Shutdown
In the unlikely case where your device becomes unresponsive, you can force-shutdown your
Mooltipass Mini BLE by unplugging it from USB and keeping the wheel pressed for 20 seconds. You
may then plug the USB cable again.
