@AllThingsSecured 2 года назад

That is correct. I don't think I did a good job of explaining that and perhaps even misspoke about the authentication protocols (I'll need to double check). The important point is that not all accounts accept a 2FA key and since the Bio doesn't have the authenticator - as you say - it can't be used for all your 2FA needs.

Hi Josh, I’m considering buying an YubiKey 5Ci, since I suppose, owning only two iPads Pro (one 2020 and one M1) and an iPhone 12. So I have no desktop or laptop. I use 1Password for all my passwords and 2FA codes. Considering this and that my use is mostly personal, and at €70 each key (buying 2), would you still recommend the investment. After looking at the services compatible, I would probably using the YubiKey withe no more than 5-6. Thanks and keep up the nice videos.

@FromDesertTown 2 года назад

Question: What do you think of actively using 2 keys (the bio and the NFC)? I mean, using the bio for all the accounts it can be used for, and using the NFC for everything else. (with a third key stowed away as backup) Would this create any problems, like confusing the auth app, or creating some other odd conflict? Thank you for this informative and helpful video by the way!

@firalia Год назад

I wouldn't think you'd run into any issues. It shouldn't confuse the auth app at all because it's designed to work with multiple keys. He even mentioned that a mix of the NFC and bio keys is an option. The biggest issue would probably be trying to remember which account is on what key!

@rittalisa4916 2 года назад

For me I see a potential HUGE down side : it'is/can more fragile an more prone to defect. That's a deal breaker for me, beside that I have a bad experience with biometric sensor so I don't like it. On the security side their is multiple way to use a MFA token, on yubikey you can use opengpg for everything and configure it to burn the subkeys if the wrong pin is enter 3 times. So loosing it isn't really an issues and I guess it's more secure them a biometric solution maybe.

Also, making a video on email forwarding service, such as AnonAddy or iCloud Mail relay, would be really helpful! Furthermore, I would like your opinion on using apps vs web browsers. Do you sign in to apps on iOS or use the web browser? For example, using the RU-vid app vs the browser or the Amazon app vs the browser or the Netflix app vs browser. I wonder if it's better to use the web browser because the company will have less access to data, but at the expense of user experience. Wouldn't companies be able to link the dots together easier if you use native apps? For instance, signing in to the RU-vid app also signs the user into every other Google app. (Any thoughts on progressive web apps, LOL?)

The biggest downside to Yubikeys is that if you want backups. You need two (or more) keys at the time you set them up. This is where the Onlykey really shines imho. It lets you export an encrypted config file which you can later use to create new keys.

Having the ability to export on a key is like having a "secure" backdoor in software. No matter how hardened the security it's always a potential point of failure. The fact that YubiKey does not have this will always make it superior. You are correct that this makes the YubiKey less practical for the average Joe. However the people that need the extra security can surely afford it. I also want to add that you can setup keys later. One way to do this is keep your private key on your YubiKey, then save your OTP QR codes and encrypt it with the key. This way you can unencrypt and add them to a second or third key.

I want to buy a second device now to have a backup in case I lose one ... I want to buy the Yubikey 5 NFC (The black one), and use it as the main one because I have the TOTP there and I currently use the authenticator microsoft, I would like to pass it all to the authenticator yubikey. Now, if I have as a second option the blue one for backup, the TOTP will not be able to recover it in case of losing the black one, correct? What do you recommend me? Thank you very much for your videos.

@AllThingsSecured 2 года назад

If I understand your question, Juan, you want to have the 5 NFC as your primary key as well as Authenticator. The blue key is the backup (which doesn’t have an Authenticator). In that case, you can always keep Microsoft Authenticator as a backup to the 5 NFC. Does that sound right to you?

Hello! The authentication process must be an anonymous cross-system process. For the guarantee of security must not collect any identity from individuals needs your security. Attackers can find ways to identify the target user. So it's very clear to me that a fingerprint option is not a viable option.

Will the NFC version still be in use for a long time? Heard that when the versions fall out of use one has to buy a new one(version)....

@AllThingsSecured 2 года назад

Yes, the NFC version will work for as long as you have the key. While improvements are being made with new keys, the underlying security encryption for these keys stays the same, so it's hard to have them "fall out of use".

Why can't they make a bio with NFC? But the NFC activates only when the finger print has been activated?

For your back up Yubikey, you registered it as another key or you registered it as a spare key (same key information as the original one)?

@AllThingsSecured 2 года назад

The keys are unique, so there is no such distinction between “another key” and a “spare key”.

These keys should be MUCH smaller! Type C and using smaller fingerprint readers, as we see on the side of some smartphones. With a reinforced loop to hold it in a keychain, chain or use itself as a keychain.

@AllThingsSecured 3 месяца назад

They have that available as well.

@costafilh0 3 месяца назад

No they don't. We need to chose between size and aditional security, or bio or nfc. There is no option with all 3 in the same device yet.@@AllThingsSecured

@@AllThingsSecured If that is the case, someone could blow up a photo of a person's finger to obtain a fingerprint which would work? Sounds like a product to keep honest people honest. Something like front door house locks installed 40 years ago.

I still do not understand whether it is possible to unlock Windows 11 using YubiKey Bio, the site says in the compatibility list that it is not, but at the same time on their RU-vid channel they add the key in the Windows Control Panel.

If fingerprint is stored on the device then why there's a generic windows prompt for scanning the fingerprint? Seems like it's Windows which does fingerprint check all the time.

definately Yubico pricing more because i paid yubico 5 NFC 50+15$ with shipping. after if arrived in India UPS asked 39$ for import fee. this is super pricing with total of 103$. even they put in air cargo/kg it was 15$ but they put useless courier service, now I got forced to pay 39$ because of them.
