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

Thank you for that! Nitrokey's willingness to worth with the community is one of the reasons I am leaning toward them. I will definitely look into official channels to get hardware for testing. I appreciate the link.

@terminaltilt I have some Solo2 #SoloKeys (part of the crowdfunding) but the firmware is missing features and the development seems to have stopped. However FIDO2/WebAuthn should work.

@pink

I have an update: I took your advice and applied. @nitrokey approved me!

Also, thank you for the warning on SoloKeys. Based on that, I am going to skip them. Instead, I reached out to some other companies, and so far @yubico also responded positively. So, this is going to be a series of videos where I look at each one and I will have a big comparison of the keys at the end.

Seriously, thank you for the link. You saved me $50 and helped kickstart this series!
