Re: password managers
@Ethin: rest assured, you and me are unable to look behind the encryption-internals of Solo, but others are, and they are supporting it every day to improve its security. You can only upgrade Solo with its own firmware, as long as you don't get a hacker version, which is basically unlocked so you can really play with it, but the normal, secure version only supports upgrading with newer and signed versions of the official solo firmware, nothing else, approved by several security experts by reading and understanding the code as well as testing it themselves, which you can do yourself if you so desire, getting a Solo key to play around with is not that expensive too.
I don't want to say that Yubekeys are bad at all. They are working fine and they are out on the market much longer than Solo, which is one of the reasons why they are so popular, but I personally don't like the idea of not being able to upgrade my hardware with new features when necessary. I just wanted to say that Solo is much cheaper than the Yubikeys and comes with the same feature set, plus its open source in hardware and software, and due to its popularity, all kind of experts validated both and are happy with the results, trusting in Solo each day.
After all, there are many more U2F key distributors out there and all of them have their pros and cons, if you want to use one of those yourself, its probably best to inform about multiple of them and decide for the one you want to stick around with, but for people who don't have the money for a Yubikey right from the start and want to see how U2F actually works, getting a cheaper alternative like Solo might be the better option.
Best Regards.
