By the way, notice Yubikey did not really release any new series/models and jacked up their price in just a few years. About 50% in 4 years. The large adoption of those devices and standards did not lower the price. They probably just banked on the enterprise market where every CISO was pressured to tick the hardware/2FA checkbox. And is then gonna allow to use the Microsoft/Google "software" one because it is hard to manage otherwise.

I think there's a bunch of factors to why yubi have upped their prices - not least, waiting for competition in their form factor & not seeing any emerge (token2 & nitrokey are much bulkier) probably gave them some confidence in the uniqueness of their product offering. It's also become a much more niche product as software based (and/or primary-device-hardware-based) solutions have evolved & improved. & niche costs more. All that said I'm really not sure why they've been so quiet on new series releases.

  > I think there's a bunch of factors to why yubi have upped their prices - not least, waiting for competition in their form factor & not seeing any emerge (token2 & nitrokey are much bulkier) It is true about the size. Sill I do not understand the price difference between 5C Nano [0] and the PIN+ Mini-C [1]. 3 to 4 times more expensive depending on the currency. - [0] https://www.yubico.com/pt/product/yubikey-5-series/yubikey-5c-nano/ https://www.yubico.com/pt/product/yubikey-5-series/yubikey-5... - [1] https://www.token2.com/shop/product/pin-mini-c-release3-1-fido2-u2f-and-totp-security-key-with-pin-complexity https://www.token2.com/shop/product/pin-mini-c-release3-1-fi...
