Agreed, but they need to be sold cheaper first. A YubiKey costs me around $40 and it’s the only brand I trust. That’s inaccessible to a lot of people.

- seoaeu 4y agoThey used to offer an $18 yubikey, but the cheapest one today seems to be $25. So a bit better than $40 but still way more than say a house key costs
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoThe FIDO2/webauthn ones (the Security Key series) are $25 for USB A or $29 for USB C. You can't use them for storing OAUTH keys, they're not smart card compatible, they can't store your PGP keys, and can't create one-time passwords or store a static password securely... but they are cheaper.
