Not sure if applicable to your use-case, but I'm using a HyperFIDO Mini[1]. Much cheaper than the Yubikey, and the form factor is also nice for just keeping it

Not sure if applicable to your use-case, but I'm using a HyperFIDO Mini[1]. Much cheaper than the Yubikey, and the form factor is also nice for just keeping it in a (reachable by hand) USB port. Though I carry mine on the keychain (and have an older, bigger one at home as a backup). [1] https://hypersecu.com/tmp/products/hyperfido https://hypersecu.com/tmp/products/hyperfido

This project is a spin-off from my wireless biometric authenticator. I was asked to make it open source many times. Other than that - I've got one on my keyring as well. But buying one is not as fun as making :)

  /me looks at his collection of electronic parts: Absolutely :) However, there is only so much time one can spent on this. Reminds me I should continue working on some FOSS after $dayjob is done for today...

Despite having a 'buy now' link to amazon.{de,fr,es,uk}, it refuses to ship to the Netherlands. That's disappointing (and sloppy).

  Oh, that's really weird. I got it from .de delivered to DE. Maybe send the manufacturer a mail and ask them to fix it? Mine came DOA and I remember them to be pretty friendly.

That's surprisingly cheap, less than $10 for a token. Any downsides?

  I've had detection issues with some (unpopular) Linux command line tools. No issues with Firefox on Windows and Linux, though.

    Could you say which ones? It would be good to know whether anything I use is known to be problematic with these.

    I didn't try any command line utilities and only use it for the web with Firefox (e.g. GitHub). Can confirm: Works well on both Linux (needs some udev rule, but I think that's true for all these sticks?) and Windows. To further answer GP: Lacks Bluetooth/NFC, so it's not usable with a smartphone (okay, maybe with a large USB-OTG adapter). No idea on the supported protocols, I think Yubikeys offer a lot more options there, but it's good enough for web authentication. Manufacturer support was pretty good: My first token was DOA, and I got a replacement token plus a free Mini. The replacement is now my backup unit and, as mentioned, carry the Mini on my keychain.

  No FIDO2 so it won't work with everything. No NFC.

    Oh, it's just U2F? You want FIDO2 with resident key support to get the really nice OpenSSH workflow (plug the key in to a new computer, run ssh-add -k, now you can SSH to all your computers).

      Can I do this with a Yubikey? Last time I tried there were a few, more complex commands than this. Could I use a udev rule to add my SSH keys as the device is plugged so I don't have to run anything? I think I was using PIV last time.
