- nottorp 2y agoSo... you need to carry two electronic devices for this so-called security solution?

- nottorp 2y agoSo a Yubikey is not an electronic device that you need to carry? iCloud Passwords don't run on an iPhone that is an electronic device that you need to carry? Those electronic devices that you mention don't each store the keys in a proprietary format and you can't access them without the vendor's cooperation - i.e. vendor lock in?
