What do you think? Does seeing "behind closed doors" give you more confidence using a YubiKey? And if you don't have your own security keys, get $5 off using this link: yubi.co/all-things-secured-2024

A video i really wanted to watch, thanks so much
-
I knew nothing about security keys and just picked one happened to be yubico and I’ve heard nothing but good and I’m glad I trusted my gut
-
Thanks for going there and finding out. I appreciate it as a YubiKey user!
-
great video Josh! And you were sooo lucky with the weather for April :D
-
Well Done! I Always love your videos and this was so interesting. Thanks for all your efforts.
-
Can't wait to get me hands on one of these products. I hope to make them as important as a phone to me and my family.
-
Thank you for the video.
-
Bought one of their keys 3 years ago, couldn't be happier!
-
Good call. Interesting to see about this. Since I'm Swedish but living abroad I bought Yubikey.
-
Question about setting up my keys. The Bitwarden extension tries to save it. When I choose hardware key, should I choose just this once or all the time? And how do i change it to once if I chose all the time?
-
Hi Josh, how would i know which accounts i have on which Yubikey? As I intend to buy 6. Cheers

Been to Stockholm, it's a wonderful city. That ship is epic! Would love to see it during the summer (we went during the winter).

Plz consider doing a review on the Quetta browser sometime.

Hardware-based authorization-keys are very hard to beat. But it does require a functional and accessible USB-C port - leaving the physical phone potentially vulnerable to advanced tampering attacks. Physical USB-blockers from Smartkeeper is a possible option. Anyway, there is an argument for app-based authenticators and charging through wireless induction only - you can completely seal off the USB-C access alltogether. But that perhaps a too tough compromise to pay.
-
Nice video just wanted to mention that the music in the video is far louder than your voice level. Thanks.
-
I love my Yubikeys but I can use your advice. How do you carry yours around so you always have one on hand? Neck lanyards are uncomfortable, and I don't always have car keys with me. I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks for ALL your videos and advice.

Cool. What happens if you lose the physical key though?
