  1. Anyone use hardware MFC authentication keys, and have opinions about them?

    Are they a good solution?

    I saw a video about YubiKey and looked it up on Wikipedia. Seems like a useful thing, but there are FOSS community concerns about it being closed-source.

    The page also mentions NitroKey which appears to be a FOSS/Open Hardware alternative that supports (most of?) the same protocols.

    Which?
    Neither?
    Comments..?

  2. @bdiederik 5 but they don't work anymore since I disabled password login on all hosts.

    Does someone know an app that supports ssh keys in a gpg smartcard?

  3. I struggle to use a hardware-key on desktop computers. You either need to reach down to the tower, reach behind the display or need some USB hub on your desktop to use them.

    Is there a better solution for it?

  4. Why is a #yubikey so expensive

    Or any other
    #hardwarekey for #2FA really ​:TenshMelt:​

  5. Why does #Sharkey / #Misskey need an "authenticator app" registered before you can use a hardware key? That doesn't make sense #security wise.

    Yeah I know it's to prevent people from just accidentally getting locked out of their accounts, but there should be an option for
    #FediAdmins to allow this risk. 🤔

    So apparently, according to Yubico's CS, they accidentally placed a "normal", no-barcode Security Key into an "Enterprise Edition" packaging and told me not worry about it. They advised me to reset the key with ykman if I was still worried.

    For actually using the hardware key on macOS login (not Apple ID), you need the more expensive @yubico 5 series keys as they support PIV. So don't buy the wrong key! If in doubt, and budget allows, get the 5 series.

    And another common service to use 2fa hardware keys is @bitwarden. You need Bitwarden Premium to use it, not the free tier.

    For those who want to use hardware security keys to secure your Apple ID, make sure you fulfil these requirements: all your devices need to support iOS 16.3, iPadOS 16.3, macOS Ventura 13.2, or later. They also ask you to register at least two hardware keys when you activate hardware security keys on your Apple ID.

  9. @muro @w4tsn Gibt es diese lib_pam/ pam _yubico auch irgendwie Herstellerunabhängig? Oder kann ich mit diesen libs auch z.B. einen @nitrokey benutzen?
