(But I will use my Yubikey for U2F)
I also refuse to install Authy. I really, really do not like their creeping, creepy intrusiveness and the profiling it enables. I get the feeling that people don't actually understand Authy beyond "Hey, it backs up my secrets to the cloud. Cool!"
I recently had to renew my Google Authenticator tokens and I was tempted by Authy but the setup/onboarding sent me away screaming. Then I remembered the NEO can handle this (well except for Amazon tokens). Can't wait for U2F NFC to be standardized.
- feld 12y agoThis precisely. I commend Authy for trying to make 2FA for a wide audience, but security is not easy. Training users is the correct approach. Give an option for those who deeply care about their security. If you're going to grab the industry by the balls and capture the attention of major industry players at least stick to your core values and offer an advanced/expert option for those of us who want to stay out of your system but still use 2FA.
