    IIRC, within the past year or so, Ars Technica made a YubiKey available as part of some promotion. I checked the Zazzle store where our SoylentNews swag is on sale [zazzle.com] (check it out!) but could not find anything like it that we could offer. Do any Soylentils have a lead on how we could make that available?

    Wouldn't ours be a Soykey?

      Oh, most Soytenly! [youtube.com] =)

      =)

      On a more serious note... I like the idea! Though I can't begin to think of how we could work that onto the item. May end up being an "in-crowd" meta-term we use to refer to one on the site, instead.

      That is, of course, if we could ever arrange to offer one!

    I came in to say a USB Flash drive but you've changed my mind. YubiKey for me please.

    Wow great idea. +1 for me. In fact I don't even mind "paying" to fund SN as part of a "package" to get a yubikey even.. win win for everyone.

    Wired also gave a way a YubiKey with a subscription. No idea how to get them though. I'll take a YubiHSM if you're giving stuff away.

    You can probably reach them for special orders at https://www.yubico.com/support/contact/ [yubico.com]

    I guess my question would be: Do we support 2FA with Yubikeys?

      Good question! I doubt that we do support 2FA, but if there is sufficient interest, I think that would make it a high priority update!

        I'm starting to like things that use WebAuthn. I use it with Windows Hello (stores the key in the TPM, access controlled by biometrics) and with GitHub's SoftU2F on Mac, which stores the keys in the keychain and provides an emulated U2F device. In both cases, the credentials are more secure than a password stored in a key manager. The macOS version is less secure, because a root compromise can extract the key, but a compromise of my account can only do online attacks, it can't exfiltrate the key on either version (WebAuthn shares a public keypair and each login just signs something with the private key that can be validated by the public key).
