Hey everyone,

I am currently using an old(er) HYPERSECU FIDO key, USB-A with a button, and I am looking to

  • secure my phone as well (NFC) and, if possible
  • add biometric authentication to the mix.

Are there good alternatives or better: upgrades to the YubiKey which do support NFC as well as biometrics and come with a USB-C?

Thanks for your time 👋

    The trezor looks cool, but it’s a bit bulky to put on a key ring. I wouldn’t want to carry it around as my second factor.

    The benefit of external factors, like a fingerprint reader, like an external pin input is that a compromised computer doesn’t get the something you know.

      It’s a question of what your privacy/security model is. I currently use Yubikey + Bitwarden with a strong main password. If I had to be paranoid, I’d sacrifice convenience for security, and carry a Trezor around.

        Personally I think the yubikey fingerprint hardware key plus bit warden is an excellent combination even if you need to be very paranoid.
