Yubico Security Key, to secure your logins and more!
-
I never use mine...
-
Mine sits on my keys waiting for me to use my banking app or password manager from a new device. Sure for everyday crap like Facebook TOTP is fine.
If you're picky and choosey about what uses the yuppie key it becomes a lot more useful and less annoying.

Same. I had high hopes but I find it less convenient than other 2FA methods.
-
Why? You can have it constantly plugged in and just touch it to login.
My favourite use is to secure SSH with it.

Minimum two, preferably three.
The second one is for backup purposes.
The third one is to go in your safe.

Agreed. But the 3rd one I might put in a different geological location...that is if something already happened to 1&2...
-
The challenge with the keys is you need to set them up on every account and each key. So you can't have your recovery key that far away.
But merely as a backup key for your password manager, fine.
Most of my stuff runs OIDC and on my home server, so if my whole house gets washed away I have more problems than a lost key.

I've seen projects to make one with a pi pico
I'm definitely trying it

I only use it because my job mandates it. They allow us to use the same key for private stuff, but it's just too inconvenient.
