No honest engineer (to be clear I am not one!) should claim that any programmable device is 100% immune to undiscovered vulnerabilities.
KeyOS does not treat installing an app as blanket trust. Each app declares the capabilities it needs. Some basic capabilities are automatically available, while additional access must be approved by the user directly on Passport Prime, either during installation or when first used. Other highly sensitive capabilities are reserved for trusted system components and cannot be granted to third-party apps at all.
This includes the Master Key. Third-party apps cannot request or export it. An app may request access to a hardened, app-specific seed, but that is separately derived for that app and requires the appropriate on-device permission.
Apps also run as separate, memory-isolated processes. A malicious app would therefore need to exploit a vulnerability in KeyOS, the kernel or a privileged service to cross these boundaries. Simply installing and running it is not enough.
Users wanting the smallest possible attack surface can install no third-party apps and leave Developer Mode disabled.

Fair criticism if you judge Passport Prime purely as a Bitcoin signer, but that is the wrong product lens.
First, Prime is $349, not $500. It is also not simply a hardware wallet. It combines a Bitcoin signing device, hardware security key, dedicated 2FA authenticator, secure storage for additional seeds, and 50GB of encrypted file storage in one device, with more functionality coming through KeyOS apps. Buying comparable dedicated devices separately would cost considerably more than $349.
Passport Prime is a personal security platform that also secures Bitcoin. It can stay at home or be carried, depending on the user’s threat model and which functions they want available.
If someone only wants a basic stateless Bitcoin signer, SeedSigner may suit them perfectly. But describing Prime as an overpriced signer misses both its purpose and most of what the price includes.

I just very quickly tried exporting a config from blue wallet 2 of 3, and it worked instantly with Prime. Are you using dark mode? Could be a contrast thing? Mine is light mode.
I did also notice they have a function to stop the QR code series so that you can cycle through them one by one. Maybe give that a whirl.
Outside of that, Sparrow is my go-to, but I know that Nunchuk also works.

2026-08-04 14:05:36 UTC

Sounds like the QR codes on Blue might be too dense. Haven't used it in a while, do they support density adjustment?

What if your agent could spend Bitcoin, but only within limits you control?
I built a hardware-backed Spark wallet for Passport Prime.
The companion app can prep payments, but Passport holds the keys, enforces policy, and asks for human approval when needed.

- Whether Nostr still matters in 2026
- Agora, the censorship-resistant "GoFundMe without borders" his team shipped in a single weekend, already being used by activists in Venezuela
