Unofficial subreddit to discuss all things yubikeys Hardware security key (yubikey) many password managers now support passkeys, which is the same protocol as yubikey, though not as secure since it's not physical separate I'm considering buying the upcoming yubikey 5c nfc and started wondering in general how well does the thing work in practice

What are the pros and cons of getting one and starting to use it
How convenient and fast it is to authenticate with yubikey instead of (say) google authenticator
Does the nfc work well with mobile phones Are there some hidden shortcomings when considering. I know, i know, i have the recovery codes, but the fact they only allow one yubikey speaks volumes about the poor quality of their software support Should this be good enough
Or is it absolutely necessary to use the hardware keys with every compatible account Let me answer the second question first. Yubikey 5 nfc ($45) supports all the functions of the security key nfc ($27) and a bit more The security key is a stripped down, cheaper version of it, essentially.
The $650 yubikey is probably more ideal
But, that's cost limiting right now I'm trying to maximize the security of my accounts Would the yubikey fips, despite being an older design, be more secure than a yubikey 5, in theory I heard the fips model has more oversight on the design process, and breaks if tampered with.
Using a yubikey through an rdp session Solved my yubikey hardware was not being seen on my vm connected over rdp There as an older post about this, but it is now locked so i am creating a new one to share my findings First, you need to make sure your rds server settings are configured to allow smart card redirection.
This might be what you're referring to
You can also use gnupg to view the gpg keys stored on the key Token2, a cheap alternatives of yubikey, good enough I've recently come across a security key brand token2 They are certified on fido2alliance and a swiss company
Their security keys are significantly cheaper than yubikey (fido2,webauth., totp support with nfc+usb c ~ 18$) Are they worth a shot? These are the platforms i know that support yubikey
