Why would I choose this over the Yubikey, or even Google's offering? And I didn't see on the kickstarter (I may have missed it), where are these being produced? I know people were not interested in Google's because they were being made in China.
- red_admiral 8y agoI think "open source" is the key selling point, along with being able to hack on the hardware and reflash the firmware. I'm 5/5 happy with my current yubikeys, but I'm also really glad that there's competition in this area and not a monoculture.
- ecesena 8y agoI'm also 5/5 happy with my yubikeys! Yubico is also a very open company. What is closed today is the industry of secure processors, and this is what we hope we can change. Plus, with more and more open source, we can expect more and more adoption of the standard. Ten years ago there was spam, now it's gone. Now there's phishing, maybe in a few years it'll be gone too.
