Would be great to see a similar project for a Yubikey, perhaps exposing the tiny metal surface next to a usable USB port. I don't like always having my Yubikey (nano) sticking out of a port, I'm always paranoid about it being knocked off and breaking in the socket.
- tekknolagi 3y agoThere's Tomo.im (Somu) for that
- danpalmer 3y agoIs there a typo in this? I've done some searching and not found anything. tomo.im resolves to GitHub Pages but isn't linked to a site.
- BeefySwain 3y agoI believe this is what they are referring to: https://www.crowdsupply.com/solokeys/somu https://www.crowdsupply.com/solokeys/somu
- mlok 3y agoGP probably means https://tomu.im/ https://tomu.im/ and pointing to Somu https://tomu.im/somu.html https://tomu.im/somu.html
- danpalmer 3y agoThanks (to both of you who pointed this out), I am completely unfamiliar with Tomu so missed this typo. Yeah the Somu looks like it would be better, but my current laptop only has USB-C and it doesn't look like there's a similarly flat implementation for USB-C. It's also still an important and fragile part sticking out from the laptop body so I think one embedded in an expansion card would still be good! Also I've got a Yubikey very similar to the Somu, so I don't think this is a Tomu/Somu exclusive concept. The benefit of Yubikey specifically is that they're approved for certain types of specialist access – at work I am required to use a specific implementation, not just any U2F/FIDO key.
- tekknolagi 3y agoYes, sorry, autocorrect :(
- laserbeam 3y agoThe biggest issue is there's a "touch the key" action in most FIDO flows. I'd love a dedicated framework expansion card with a usba port + fido token, and a tiny touch sensor on the side. Unsure if there's a big enough market for that.
