I realized I didn't wear #yubikey on chain on my neck for 8 days (because of circumstances). And this is absolutely record for me, it was never so long until now!
Does it mean I have a problem?

I have it on me now. I couldn't feel so... naked? without armor? anymore.

Very happy to finally be able to use my yubikeys on my phone (GrapheneOS, without Play services)

Most of the pieces were already there, it only missed to be assembled into a Credential Provider, which is finally done with HW Fido2 Provider

Hat jemand Erfahrung wie lange man z.B. #yubikey als #passkey Verschnitt wo lagern kann?

Oder leiden die unter Flash typischen Alzheimer wenn man die zu lange lagert?

are you kidding me, @yubico?

If you are looking for a good password manager you can use from anywhere, there are plenty of excellent options to choose from. However, if you prefer to only store your passwords locally, KeePassXC is what you need. In our latest tutorial, we'll walk through setting up KeePassXC to work with your YubiKey as an additional factor to secure your local-only password database.

Y a-t-il dans le coin des utilisateurs de #YubiKey5C ?

Het is goed om vaker naar Europese alternatieven te kijken, zodat we onze economie sterk houden. Gelijktijdig leven we in een globale economie en komt soms het "beste" product of dienst uit een ander werelddeel. Als we alle landen zouden boycotten die slechte doen of deden, dan kun je nergens meer iets kopen

Zelf kijk ik naar meer Europese producten. Zo heb ik afgelopen week een @nitrokey gekocht in plaats van #Yubikey. Niet alleen vanwege de afkomst, maar ook omdat zij meer #OpenSource zijn.

by me:

If you are using a YubiKey,

you might get in some situations where you need to reset your key to factory default, and/or set up a backup of it on a spare key.

This tutorial will guide you
through each step to reset and back up your YubiKey successfully, with clear instructions and plenty of visual support.

I hope you find it helpful!

Always remember, when it comes to hardware security keys: Two is one, one is none.

Our latest article covers the setup process for two YubiKeys (from Yubico's YubiKey 4 or 5 series) to keep your online accounts safe and secure + it goes through resetting your existing keys to a blank slate, and the reasons you might want to do so!

I was locked out of my work machine earlier, but it was due to an update of the Yubikey PAM U2F bindings. In case others have the same problem:

Frankly, this was a horrible rollout of a security fix, as there's no obvious remediation, and many folks may not have the ability to boot with a rescue drive to workaround the issue.

Wow, finally! If you use the Bitwarden desktop app on Linux, the latest release now allows you to use a Yubikey to authenticate if you have one configured

Anyone knows how to create a #virtual #macos on a #apple #silicon machine (M1 etc) where I can pass through an #USB device (#yubikey specifically)? #security #research #testing #opensource #infosec #privacy

On a recent #Dell #laptop, I'm facing a hard to debug #Linux wakeup crash: if a USB device (e.g., a #Yubikey) is plugged before putting the laptop in standby and removed while sleeping, then Linux will "reliably" crash upon resuming, with no visible oops nor dmesg log. I can reproduce it with a Yubikey, but it also happens with a USB docking station (connected to keyboard, mouse, etc.). Any idea what to look for? It's also hard to properly search the web for…
