Is there any sort of backup in case it gets destroyed or lost? Can you clone it?

- nobodyorother 9y agoThe only backup I know of is getting another key that you register in the same way as the first key. Hopefully they don't both break at the same time.
- tptacek 9y agoThe entire security model depends on the devices being uncloneable.
- noja 9y agoBut my security model does not allow putting myself in a position where I am stranded without my second factor (or doing huge amounts of work re-registering everything).
- tptacek 9y agoThat's why you set up backup factors. It is for the same reason that services like Google Mail won't let you set up a U2F token without a backup factor.
