🚨 New Video: Virtue is Inconvenient - The Nitrokey 3 Review

In my last video, I crowned the YubiKey 5 as the "King of Keys" but it has a fatal flaw. It is proprietary. For those of us who believe in digital sovereignty and the right to audit our own hardware, blind trust is not an option.

Then there is Nitrokey 3A NFC. It promises open-source firmware, transparent design, and code written in memory safe Rust. But does "open" actually mean "good?" Today, we look at whether the moral high ground is worth the inconvenience, why the Android experience might be a deal breaker, and who should actually buy this device.

🚨 New Video: YubiKey 5 Review - Security Essential or Overpriced?

The "Industry Standard" is usually a warning sign.

In this video, we are looking at the YubiKey 5 NFC and 5C NFC. These are arguably the best engineered security keys on the planet. They are injection molded, "violence-proof," and they work with just about everything. But for those of us in the Linux and FOSS community, they present a problem.

Can you trust a security tool if you aren't allowed to see how it works?

Is it 2026 or 2006? I just went to harden my PayPal account with my new review units.

Turns out, PayPal still only supports one physical security key. No backups allowed. If you want redundancy, they force you back to TOTP apps or (worse) SMS.

#Yubico är i en svacka, men det går inte att komma ifrån att en Yubikey är väldigt mycket säkrare än de populära säkerhetslösningarna.

I am raising $50 to pick up a pair of open-source security keys (SoloKeys or Nitrokey). I'd love to do a review or series about these!

The Mission: Kill off SMS based 2FA and move to hardware backed FIDO2 for my desktop and Proxmox logins. It is time to move my security away from a SIM card and into my own hands.

Testing Password Managers: Moving on from KeePassXC + Syncthing (it has served me well but can be fickle) to try out Proton Pass, which also supports hardware keys. I also had good experiences from Bitwarden and VaultWarden.

Which do you prefer for Linux?   

I would greatly appreciate any support of the goal here: https://ko-fi.com/terminaltilt/goal?g=0

I also have a LibrePay (which is much more privacy respecting) here: https://liberapay.com/terminaltilt/donate
