@teleclimber I like the pro version!The same Dev makes an email client: FairEmail which I use instead Gmail (I use Google accounts for non important stuff). I'm still setting it up as I want to step up my game in using FOSS alternatives. The 3a has very little if any bloatware which is nice. Nothing OS looks sleek but I think I'll switch launchers as I like having more functionality. NFC isn't working for me (can't find the position) and my #Yubikey C NFC didn't work - could be my settings tho.

Oooh... graphical waybar Yubikey locking module that can be toggled on & off.... yes please! 
NixOS Discourse · Yubilock module for WaybarI just finished my second open source project, called Yubilock. This Waybar module adds a service that will lock your screen when your Yubikey is disconnected. You can also toggle the service on/off depending on your threat model. Made to be used with a magnetic usb adapter, extension cable, and a key ring or carabiner that you can attach to your belt. The indicator will show the current status of the service and whether a YubiKey is currently inserted. Feedback welcome!
Do I know somebody who can tell me how to solve the error #GnuPG is giving me upon creating an encryption key on a #Yubikey 5C (NFC or nano -- no difference, but same yubi versions)

I've tried almost all algorithms, also rsa2048 thinking that's the issue, but. no -- irrespective of algo.

@techlore proton pass is good in that your data on proton pass is fully #encrypted. So if you use a hardware based #passkey such as a #yubikey to secure the main account, and have all your other accounts within use software based passkeys and 2FA, wouldn't be as much of a risk even if Proton Pass got breached as a service.
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.
New Privacy Guides article 
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!

People who use hardware security keys: Storing them in geographically diverse locations is a wise move but makes it impossible to quickly onboard. How do you keep track of where you’ve registered each key? A checklist in a spreadsheet is obvious but cumbersome. Is there a better way? (Yes I use passkeys extensively but for certain services like email, iCloud, and my password manager, a hardware option is desirable if not mandatory.) #YubiKey #YubiKeys #FIDO #FIDO2 #FIDOKey #FIDOKeys #Security

@ij Geheimnis und ggf. Weitere Parameter, sofern sie vom Standard abweichen) irgendwo sicher hinkopieren. (Zweiter Passwort-Tresor für die hoch Sicherheits-Bedürftigen).
Dann kannste immer wieder neue TOTP Generatoren anbinden. Oder ersetzen wenn sie kaputt sind.
Rausexportiren kannste die aus dem #YubiKey nämlich nicht.
Und! Was mir erst recht spät aufgefallen ist, die Anzahl der Speicherplätze ist begrenzt! 32 oder so. 
So, nun hab ich so nen #Yubikey, aber so recht bin ich noch nicht ueberzeugt.
Vor allem, wie ist das Handling mit mehreren Keys (z.B. Backup)?
Im Yubikey Authenticator auf dem Handy kann ich anscheinend nur einen Key verbinden?
Wie ist das mit mehreren Keys und mehreren Rechnern/Laptops?
