Is Yubikey superior to something like Keepass/Lastpass/1password?
- MiguelHudnandez 14y agoYubikey works just like Google Authenticator, except it is a little more convenient to type in the code. (you touch a physical button on the dongle, and it types the code for you) It does not actually save any passwords. It would replace Google Authenticator or an RSA SecurID FOB.
- dkokelley 14y agoNow this is convent, provided I don't have to access my password safe on a mobile device without a USB port. Does Yubikey have an app or work with Google Authenticator? I know I can use LastPass with Google Authenticator to identify trusted devices. Still not perfect, but perfect security would be too inconvenient for anyone to use.
- DanBC 14y agoYubikey would be in addition to the password used on Keepass. So you need your password and the Yubikey to unlock your password safe. You could set the Yubikey up to be the password - so you only need the Yubikey to open up Keepass.
