🚨 New Video: Protecting You From Yourself - The Token2 Review

We have looked at the industry standard (YubiKey) and the philosophical idealist (Nitrokey). Today, we’re looking at the aggressor: Token2.

The PIN+ Dual Release 3.3 and the Bio3 come in at nearly half the price of the competition, but there is a catch. This Swiss company doesn't care about convenience; they care about correctness. From hardware-enforced complex PINs to a literal war on legacy TOTP codes, Token2 assumes your ego is your biggest vulnerability.

Is this cynical, locked-down approach exactly what we need for true digital sovereignty, or is the clunky user experience a dealbreaker? Let's find out if this is the ultimate punk rock choice for your threat model.

🚨 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.
