  • On using bitwarden for TOTP:
    Also take a look at solokeys. They are very affordable and support FIDO2 and FIDO U2F -- meaning they have overlapping protocols with Bitwarden, and they certainly work on Google. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Sign in with Google has been removed for your privacy
    You might want to check out https://solokeys.com/ then. They're pretty new (shipping for about a year) but they do full FOSS firmware & software as well as most hardware being FOSS as well. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Security keys opinion
    Yubikey is always recommend but solokey is open source. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Passkeys in Chrome
    No you do not need to use anything proprietary to use WebAuthn. There are open source software[0] and hardware keys[1]. [0]: https://github.com/psanford/tpm-fido [1]: https://solokeys.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Mullvad Creates a Hardware Company
    > Something that makes the key unique is the fact that both its software and hardware are open source Aren't SoloKeys [1] also open hardware and software? Or is the Tillitis key more general purpose and thus not in the same category? [1] https://solokeys.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Show HN: A virtual Yubikey device for 2FA/WebAuthN
    Are you familiar with https://solokeys.com/? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • People who use a cloud based password manager, how do you develop the trust in the cloud?
    There's also a cheaper Solokey that's about $20-25... It's open-source too, but YMMV with user-friendliness. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Make Custom Yubikey
    Snark aside though, there is SoloKey which is an open source hardware implementation of CTAP and more. Suffice it to say these things take a lot of work to create. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Purdue Starts Comprehensive Semiconductor Degree Programs in U.S.
    It's still too early for Rust in the embedded space. A lot of that space has various certification requirements that Rust doesn't meet yet, and the rest of the space tends to follow too and is very conservative. Ferrous Systems is making some good progress to make certification of Rust happen, through ferrocene[0] and other initiatives, but it will take time. The only company I know using Rust in a sort-of... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • How to Store an SSH Key on a Yubikey
    There is actually at least one fido2 device that supports backing up (mostly), based on this spec from Dicekeys https://github.com/dicekeys/seeding-webauthn Solokeys (https://solokeys.com/ - v1, don't think the newew v2 does) have a special firmware version that implements this and allows you to use a custom seed - and as such restore a key from it. It only works on non-resident credentials (most commonly used, as... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Using a smart card to log in
    As you can see this is a steep learning curve. If your interest is in learning about smartcards then it will be a rewarding challenge, however if you just want to log into Windows your best bet is to buy a FIDO-enabled smart card from somewhere like here. Most consumer FIDO tokens are sold as USB devices, not smart cards so your options are a bit limited. If you don't mind not using your built-in reader and want... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • What are the benefits of using a Microsoft account?
    One of hardware key standards, used in Yubico keys and elsewhere. I.e. You plug it in USB port and it can unlock your PC, login into Github and such. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Apple, Google, and Microsoft commit to expanded support for FIDO standard
    I've considered adding FIDO2 support to the software-only U2F token I wrote ( https://github.com/danstiner/rust-u2f). It's a fair bit of work though, and I am not sure how comfortable I am with passwordless login unless the keys are kept purely in hardware such as a TPM. That said, my reading of this post is that FIDO2 support will get built into Chromium directly, which is itself open source. Or if you do want a... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Phone May Soon Replace Many of Your Passwords
    There are a number of FOSS solutions. - https://github.com/google/OpenSK <- DIY solution - https://solokeys.com/ - https://www.nitrokey.com/ The issue with any FOSS solution is that FIDO requires an attestation private key which is shared between a batch of at least 100,000 security keys. Using a DIY or cli app (application running on the host) solution will likely mean you'll be generating that private key... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Privacy Guides Changelogs - March 2022
    Solokeys should be added to Hardware Security Keys. It's also open source like NitroKey. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Solokeys website
    Was surprised to see https://solokeys.com/ does not... Source: about 2 years ago
  • What if phone gets stolen?
    But a opensource Solokey will be worth it. Thats an open source FIDO2 key. Only costs half of what the closed sourced yubikey costs. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Is Google Prompt 2FA method secure?
    Why not use something like this with the authenticator app as a second method? Source: over 2 years ago
  • Which YubiKey works with most privacy services and devices?
    Yubikey hardware is a black box. Better to use Open Hardware for security. https://www.nitrokey.com or https://solokeys.com. Source: over 2 years ago
