I have two yubikeys too, but I definitely found services which didn't allow me to register more than one when I first set them up (a couple of years ago now).

- Semaphor 4y agoNot sure how it used to be, but the only braindead implementation like that I’ve seen was AWS.
- arianvanp 4y agoThey fixed this a few weeks ago.
- chrishynes 4y agoThey announced a fix but it hasn't rolled out everywhere yet -- it requires converting to a new "Amazon Web Service" login that is separate from your normal amazon.com account
- bostik 4y agoOh cool, this has been my number one complaint about AWS credentials management since early 2016 or so. Over the years I've talked to a number of their project and program managers and until 2019 (that is, before the plague) they all told me that they were aware of the problem but had no plans - or even intent to fix it. Apparently the one-set-of-credentials constraint is so deeply tied into their platform that fixing it was simply deemed infeasible. Appears that while they couldn't fix it, they have gone ahead with a workaround and made multi-device 2FA support a feature in a potential auth replacement system. Must have been a particularly frequent and loud complaint.
