The source code is open source. Please point to the lines of code where the backdoor exists.

You can't get right/left balance metrics with a single pod. Several old metrics are now applied to both feet, so you can compare right to left. EG, if you notice your right leg spring stiffness increasing, but not your left, you know the right leg is getting stronger, which might prompt you to increase the strength in your left leg. That sort of stuff.

But yeah. The goal is to get existing Next Gen Stryd customers to purchase a second Next Gen pod as well as a membership. But for older Stryd pod owners like myself, $250 for two Next Gen pods and a membership is a pretty sweet deal.

Biometrics aren't the second factor when using WebAuthn, the hardware security key is. But anyone with access to the security key can use the second factor. Biometrics would tie the key to you preventing them from being used by others. The best we have right now for unlocking the security key are PINs, AFAIK.

2FA is rife with problems. FIDO2/WebAuthn isn't tied to biometrics and can be inconvenient. TOTP can get out of sync and can be phished. Email can also be phished. Voice and SMS are vulnerable to SIM swaps. Now we're seeing that passkeys are horribly opaque without proper management and at risk of getting lost.

Le sigh.

I was very disappointed in that Kickstarter. Yubikey ran a 54% off discount May 4th last year and not knowing when I would get my v2 SoloKeys, I purchased two. I had them within the week and have since integrated them into all my accounts.

I debated backing out of the Kickstarter as the Yubikeys were working so well for me, but decided to stick with it and see what the SoloKey experience would be like. Yeah, disappointing. I ordered USB-A and USB-C keys. The USB-A key doesn't make a good connection with the USB port. It needs to be carefully held to register with the OS, otherwise it doesn't get power.

It's not my repo, so I don't know. I don't see any specific criteria, so if you see a project missing that should be added, send a pull request.
