It’s too bad the user experience across devices sucks. The best experience by far is a yubikey nano since it is mostly permanently attached to your laptop. It’s always there and you just quickly tap it. Love it.
Of course that doesn’t work with my iPhone. So I guess I need a second NFC yubikey that stays on my key chain in my pocket (which I don’t have since I don’t carry keys.). So then I have to remember to register both yubikeys. Then every time I have to login to GitHub or whatever on my phone I have to pull out my keychain (which I don’t have) and tap it on my phone.
I wonder when I can just get a virtual yubikey built into my phone. No extra device. My phone is my device. It kind of sounds like what Passkey is but I don’t want to pull out my phone to auth my laptop.
I really loved the idea and convenience trade off of SoftU2F. Too bad it’s dead now.
