Description

Has any research been done as to the feasibility of supporting the Trezor? For example, the trezor could be used to log the user into keybase.io. Or even better, trezor could be used to manage the user's private key (trezor has a encrypt/decrypt function). That way the user has almost complete security since the private key remains on the device the whole time.
