I recently got a pair of yubikeys… they have been around about ten years already and support industry standards. Guess how many services I use support them? A smaller fraction than I’d like.


My employer had a program where you could put in a request and get a free yubikey. Turns out they basically only work with Chrome (no Firefox, no terminal-based auth), so none of my team actually ever uses theirs because it's not really more convenient.


When was that? I use a pair of cheap FIDO2 keys with both Firefox and the Linux PAM module. It's hell of a lot more convenient than typing in passwords to unlock LUKS volumes or sign in to web services, that's for sure. I use mini keys though, they barely stick out of USB ports.


That's not true I use mine only with Firefox. And done small companies like Google, Apple, PayPal fully supports Yubikey.


Only use mine with Firefox.


I always find it funny that a thing can be an "industry standard" even if nobody supports it.


The industry of dreams. Build it and they will ComeAsAService

I’m sure there’s a joke in here to be made about dating apps.


Not dating apps, but close...
