Love to spend 3 hours regenerating all my #2FA tokens before I send my mobile device for screen repair. At least now I won't have to do it ever again as I stored the tokens in #KeePass which generates the QR code for authenticator deployment.
Recently I bought a yubikey, and it is really handy for 2FA, the problem is that it is not supported everywhere. It works well in pam and nextcloud for example but not in friendica (-i am just mentioning this incidentally btw).... I am still trying to understand wether it is a good idea or not, but it is definitely better than storing the 2fa tokens in some app on drive.
I’m not familiar with yubikey but I’ve seen it supported in a couple of website I went through to reset 2FA. Worth adding to Friendica but I wouldn’t be able to test.
@Hypolite Petovan I only had It for one week and I am still testing what It can do, mine Is a 10€ hyperfido, U2F yubikey compatibile since it Is now a standard I think. That should not be important since once the U2F dongle Is defined in the browser It can be used in every site. Mine works well with chromium chrome and Firefox, but I could also test other browsers. Mine also only has a USB interface, no NFC, so I can only test in Linux and win10, not on iOS or android ( or Mac). Otherwise i would be very happy to be a beta tester. Next time I will definitely buy one with NFC.
I've got two YubiKeys from subscribing to Wired, but I've had my eyes on SoloKeys for my next one, since they're open source and less expensive than Yubi.
