You Should Be Using Yubikeys!

Just ran across this video... All I can say is THANK YOU! You did an amazing job at laying out what Yubikeys not only are, but the demos were off the chain! Keep up the great work sir!

Wow, great video! Extremely informative, very well edited. This was exactly what I needed, thank you!

Very useful. I too had Yubikeys on hand waiting to understand how to use them. Multiple keys per account info helped alot.

Best balance between skimming over details to make it short and going way over time to make an exhaustive yet way too long video. Key points are covered. Points out of scope are stated as such. Points that have bigger implications and do need consideration at some point, are also made clear: things that make you think. Ideal balancing a critical yet confusing topic. Great vid.

Thanks, Chris! Using them already for about 3 years but managed to find some new things watching your video!

"Scanning" the desktop screen by the desktop app is a pretty neat little usability hack! I haven't been using the app but now I'm sold on it 🤓

Thank you for your thorough summary of Yubikeys and set up. Bravo!!

I've always found Ubikey's own documentation to be fairly obtuse. Thanks for the clearest explanation yet.

The acting for the google Authenticator is top notch lol. Great video!

Funny, I just finished setting mine up last night! Ordered two more for my parents.

Great video! Been using these for quite sometime, make sure to get an extra as backup as mentioned!

Thanks Chris, great presentation. Have had a Yubikey for several years but only used it a few times so this was a great refresher.

Love the 568B artwork on your wall.

For your time codes to automatically put "chapters" on your timeline, you have to put a 0:00 time code in the list. Great video!

Excellent! I just got the 5 NFC and answered EVERY question I had (spent hours trying to connect the dots)... Thanks a bunch!

Great video! I use the 5ci as primary and 5 NFC as secondary. I also have my PGP keys on my 5ci.

Chris U have converted me to this yubikey, Thanks i feel much safer now , great vid

We have company issued Yubikeys for over 5 years and you are exactly right about how good they are. Even though I'm a very long time user, I am so glad you made this video. I have actually been wanting to use Yubikeys for my personal accounts, but hadn't invested the time to figure out how to set it up. So I've been using the MS and Google authenticators. But I prefer the yuibikey for the same reasons you cited. I was working in Germany a couple years ago and forgot my yubikey at home and needed access to our corporate VPN. We fortunately had an office a couple hours away and I was able to get a replacement through our IT. But I wasn't sure if I could setup a couple so I'd have a backup. I also wasn't sure about how to get it to work with a phone since my company issued yubikey is the USB A style. You really answered ALL my questions. I'm going to hit your link and pick up a few.

Thank you for that great overview and answering all of my questions before i could even ask them.

Now, this is neat. I never know those accounts are stored in the keys. I started using Authy last year because it can back-up my keys. But that means my secret codes are now on the cloud. I need that feature so I won't lose them whenever I reset my phone, which I do every time when it gets a major system upgrade. I don't lose my stuff easily, so having a key is better than having an app. Thank you for such an informative video.
