PICO
This passkey PICO KEY is made so that the user can login without using a password. Using the picokeys firmware for raspberry pi microcontrollers, it is pretty secure(FIDO2) and fun to use.

This passkey PICO KEY is made so that the user can login without using a password. Using the picokeys firmware for raspberry pi microcontrollers, it is pretty secure(FIDO2) and fun to use. Even though it has a small form factor, it carries one button and a white LED - enough for passwordless login and some custom HID stuff.

Questions
How big is the PICO PCB?
It measures 12.1 × 33.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the PICO use?
34 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the PICO KiCad files?
From the tyrobee/PICO-KEY repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Kicad/PICO.kicad_pcb and its schematic Kicad/PICO.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the PICO design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask tyrobee before reusing the design.
