The Yubikey Nano is about that size. I find it too small, though, and the NEO is perfect for me. It's the same size as my keys and I've put it through the washing machine with no problems.
- tonfa 8y agoI think the point of a key like the nano is to permanently put it on your device, not carry it around.
- organsnyder 8y agoIf you're essentially attaching it permanently, why bother with an external key at all? Isn't the main point of these devices that they remain with your person?
- tonfa 8y agoit's a non fish-able token, a password can be fished a security key can't. For most people I'd think the biggest risk are non physical attacks.
- freeone3000 8y agoYes, in part - another part is that it can't be remotely compromised or duplicated. Someone has to have physical control of the key. If you have a secured area your device is in, such as an office or a locked apartment, it's way better than password or SMS 2fa.
- ecesena 8y agoIt's still stronger crypto vs passwords and tokens. It has certainly different use cases, and you need to protect your laptop in other ways, for example with a strong enough password to unlock the screen. It's certainly not a product for the masses, imo.
