I made the switch to a cellular tablet (9.7" iPad Pro) a couple years ago and it's been great. It reduces the urge to whip out my mobile device at every moment of mild boredom, and collaborative apps like ported board games shine.

Generally yes, but the admin has the power to either enforce it (for some or all users) or disable it domain wide. If you were to create a new GSuite domain today, it'd be allowed for all users.

Yes google does. The spec strongly encourages providers to allow multiple keys, and allow you to nickname them. As far as I know everyone allows as many keys as you like except Vanguard and Amazon AWS (which both also only accept Yubico key

You use a less convenient backup authentication. The specifics depend on the use case, but even if you fall back to something less secure like an email and TOTP, you still come out ahead overall because most authentications are done by U2F.

Essentially it borrows the protections from TLS. Here's a link to the relevant part of the spec: https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-u2f-v1.2-ps-20170411/fid... (Sorry if this comes across as RTFM, but I figu

Aw, that's a bummer. First Vanguard and now AWS support only Yubikey brand U2F devices. I wonder why that's happening? Hopefully this practice remains limited. I really don't want haul a bag of different security keys around

They mention Yubikey a lot by name in the post. Has anyone tried a U2F device from a different manufacturer?

It’s not as big of a deal as you might expect because: - The spec requires providers to allow independent addition / removal of multiple keys per account, so it’s easy to manage backup U2F keys. - Providers can use any backup authentic

That’s starting to be the case. Check out https://projectpanoptes.org It’s network of ~$5000 exoplanet robotic survey telescopes. There’s also https://skynet.unc.edu/ which is aimed at larger scopes.

The protocol specifics 3 transport options with this in mind: usb, nfc, and Bluetooth. As others mention, nfc works great for android. Bluetooth is your only option for iOS, and it’s clunky because you have to deal with pairing.

The U2F-Zero is about $9, and the cheapest U2F device I know of. They work well, but aren’t as durable as other options. https://www.amazon.com/U2F-Zero/dp/B01L9DUPK6

The teacher you're thinking of from last year is me :) Thanks a lot for the great classroom product, and your support. It made my work a lot easier.

Also, as I sadly discovered, beyond a 2 second LED blip, there's no way to verify a successful bike dock. And a botched docking could cost you $1200.

Sorry to hear things are more difficult. I'd love to hear specifics, if you're interested in sharing. I'd love to try to get them fixed :) And yeah, I'm a developer advocate on GCP

It looks like time spent doing things that my employer wouldn't pay me to do. Over the course of my life, it's changed. Sometimes it looks pretty similar to my day job, but to the benefit of a different organization, like when I
