I agree with Tilghman, but would add there are NFC versions of Yubikey's (still without battery), and USB-C connector (which may or may not attach to your phone). If supported, it could be added as a backup authentication method, but I don't recommend using them as the primary method. (Left it at h

I just heard of SMS mirroring, which is good if we want to do that, but not so good if a hacker can mirror someone else's SMS and bypass 2FA. What you're describing sounds more like what I'm looking for instead of a specific hardware device. Mange Tak. On Tue, Aug 24, 2021 at 12:48 PM Tilghman L

There are multiple reasons why I'm not fond of hardware keys like that: The first I've already mentioned. If it's lost or misplaced, you've just lost your way of getting into the system. Second is the form factor. It's a USB A connector, which is fine when you're sitting at a desktop or a lapto

I would suggest configuring PAM to use one of the myriad 2 factor authentication schemes, preferably one that isn't tied to a hardware key. For example, you can use a Google Authenticator scheme with an app like Authy, which will allow you to authenticate with multiple devices -- useful if you los

It would be a good idea for someone from NLUG to hold on to the meetup group. It was for a while how people found meetups.
