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

UPDATE: Great news! Thanks to a community tip in the replies(thank you @pink ), I reached out to the vendors directly.

I am happy to report that @nitrokey and @yubico have both approved review units for the channel! 🎉

Transparency Note: Since I no longer need to buy the hardware, I am changing the Ko-Fi goal.

All funds will now go toward an Overhead Camera Rig & Desk Mat. This will allow me to film stable, top-down "hands-on" shots for the upcoming reviews, so you can actually see the hardware in action.

Thank you to everyone who boosted—you saved the channel money and upgraded the studio!

UPDATE #2: The Trifecta is Complete!

I’m thrilled to announce that Token2 is joining the upcoming security series!

I am aligning the Token2 review with their core mission: The death of legacy TOTP.

While many users still rely on codes, Token2 is pushing for a 100% phishing resistant future. We will be focusing exclusively on their Open Source, publicly audited FIDO2 stack. This is a massive win for the #FOSS community. Hardware that is both auditable and explicitly designed to move us past insecure, legacy protocols.

The Comparison is now set:

Yubico: The Industry Giant (Closed Source).

Nitrokey: The Open Hardware Veteran.

Token2: The Audited Open FIDO2 Specialist.

Thank you for the boosts!
