- gargravarr 8y agoThe funny thing is, Google have previously lauded Yubikeys, commenting how all staff get one and how it's reduced phishing to zero. Yubico is already a reasonably trusted entity in the security space, and its products are made in the US and in Sweden. A tie-up between Google and Yubico seemed to be the most logical answer. I'm scratching my head as to why the final product is made by a third party few seem to have heard of. Makes me wonder whether Google intend to dogfood this and ditch everyone's Yubikeys, or whether this is just for others to use with the Google brand slapped on it. Either way, I'm not giving up my Yubikey.
