This isn’t strictly a privacy question as a security one, so I’m asking this in the context of individuals, not organizations.

I currently use OTP 2FA everywhere I can, though some services I use support hardware security keys like the Yubikey. Getting a hardware key may be slightly more convenient since I wouldn’t need to type anything in but could just press a button, but there’s added risk with losing the key (I can easily backup OTP configs).

Do any of you use hardware security keys? If so, do you have a good argument in favor or against specific keys? (e.g. Yubikey, Nitrokey, etc)

    Think, who are you, and who am i?

    I mean, how would you do it, and just why?

    This is a very very very improbable scenario, too complicated, and too unlikely

    There could be a thread model that would work with this feature well, but I don’t think any of us even theoretically is one of those people that would benefit from it

    Define your thread model, and work from it

    Most of the people have two main threads: hackers, and thieves, not hacker-thieves
