I don't know if I can put biometric security in my ssh session
- haunter 1y agoYou can do that on Macs with Touch ID
- transpute 1y agoSome iOS/Mac SSH clients allow SSH keys to be protected by TouchID or FaceID, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15853345 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15853345 Might be possible on other systems with a fingerprint reader and TPM, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36920105 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36920105
- swores 1y agoMy yubikeys aren't biometric ones, so it's possible I'm wrong about what they support, but I'm pretty sure it's possible to have your SSH key on them and require both fingerprint and password to use it. https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-bio-series/ https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-bio-series/ (And I'm sure they're not the only company who makes such devices, they're just the one I'm familiar with myself.)
