I am im the market for a hardware key for MFA. I want to put it on my keyring and put it in my pocket so I always have it with me. I guess it should be quite sturdy for that (no easily broken off connectors, …) I mainly want to use it as additional factor for my Bitwarden vault. Do you have any recommendations, experiences, stories? Yubikey seems to be by far the brand most recommended. Solo is nice bc open source hard/firmware, but I care more about reliability and usability than openness I think.
Thank you for your insights!
that is really cool! i have so many questions! is it visible from the outside? can you still have an mri scan? does the metal detector at airports detect it? can you feel it under your skin?
It’s only visible if you manipulate it with the other hand, otherwise it’s flat enough to be completely in invisible. MRI is fine! The technicians are often somewhat worried but usually accept it just fine if you refer to online documentation. The chip is unaffected. It’s too small to be detected by any metal detectors, so no issues at the airport. You can’t feel it outside of touching it with the other hand. There is a pinching feeling a few weeks after install though but it disappears completely.
I have four; one small glass capsule type in each hand and two flex type in the forearm.
