Exactly my thoughts. Finally a yubikey I don't have to worry about breaking. Admittedly, I've never broke one, but I still live in fear of doing so.
I'm surprised folks like the Neo though. I rarely use mine anymore as I kept accidentally triggering it when I carried my laptop to meetings.
- AlisdairO 10y agoThe Yubikey Nano is pretty great in this regard - doesn't stick out enough to really worry about breaking.
- jsjohnst 10y agoThe Nano (not Neo) is the one I was referring to (said wrong thing). It's the one I used to trigger at least once a day accidentally, usually in a chat window as luck would have it.
- Fnoord 10y agoThe big advantage of the Neo is NFC. As for, > I rarely use mine anymore as I kept accidentally triggering it when I carried my laptop to meetings. ..for macOS there is statusbar application called YubiSwitch [1] which allows one to enable or disable their YubiKey (default keybind Alt + Cmd + Y). It has various useful features such as timeout (default 10 sec, feature disabled by default), or locking the computer if key is removed. I use it together with a YubiKey Nano 4, with a YubiKey Neo as backup. Be sure to enter the right ProductID to make it work. You can only use one, so if you ever use your backup key you need to configure that ProductID. [1] https://github.com/pallotron/yubiswitch https://github.com/pallotron/yubiswitch
- jsjohnst 10y agoI mistakenly stated Neo when I meant Nano. The Nano is great as far as being inconspicuous and rugged, but I accidentally trigger it to much. I'll look into Yubiswitch, thanks!
