Yubikeys on Amazon are really cheap right now it seems. This is less than the Yubico store itself so might be a good time to buy if you are in the security sector or just keen on improving your security.
Anyone seen it anywhere cheaper?
CamelCamelCamel.
The USB Type-A version is also the same price if anyone prefers that: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07HBD71HL/
Hmm for personal usage do i really need 5 series?
I think the blue model with nfc is enough for majority people, right?
Depends if you need USB C and some of the other features
hmmm as we ideally (or must) have 2 of this, i think the blue security with NFC is good for me. dont want to spend over $100 for these yet
yubi yubi
haha i got that one
Got it free from subscribing to a wired magazine an ages ago, been using the previous usb a model to secure password management bitwarden together with google authenticator app.
To be honest, I'm using the authenticator app more than this physical device now (convenience), I wonder whether people do the same? Or am I not a secure minded person after all?
If you're using MFA you're more security minded than most people. Software MFA combined with not re-using passwords is plenty for most people. I work in cyber security and I always find it interesting that people go for these hardware tokens. Last thing I want is another device to carry around. It's all about how you view risk though. I'm pretty confident in the fact I'm not going to click on anything I shouldn't, all of my devices are patched, well configured etc that I don't see these as any additional security benefit to me.
You work in cyber security and you don't see the benefit in FIDO authentication to prevent phishing and MitM attacks?
This looks like a valid URL to many browsers (not new versions of Chrome) but wouldn't fool FIDO: https://www.аррӏе.com/
The certificate is even valid.
It's not that there is no benefit - but for my use case, the inconvenience is not worth the extra security, and I don't know many average users who would want to use something like a Yubikey.
Security can be an endless game of doing things, to make things more secure, but if it gets in the way, people will resist. I could isolate every device on my network if I really wanted, so that they can't communicate with each other or anything else and make things more secure, but it wouldn't be that convenient. An extreme example, but every person/organisation needs to chose what the balance is. And hardware authentication is one I'm not willing to use for personal use, but I'm not your average computer user and am very unlikely to fall for phishing.
I know 4 passwords, my work, Microsoft, LastPass and Authy. So a stolen password is only ever good for the one site/service, and anything important has MFA (emails, work, banking, social media etc). But I'm not carrying around another physical device to be able to access what I need to.
I go for it because I have no experience. After a week of usage I returned the product because it was so inconvenient. Quicker by using my phone as the second authenticator.
"Anyone seen it anywhere cheaper?" for this model, nope. ebay is $79-ish
but for the blue one with NFC (not series 5), ebay is cheaper i saw one for $40
For those that don't want to pay for two:

Bullshit, already got rid of it and jacked up the price! Sorry everyone :/
Probably should of removed the deal just giving them exposure
🤦♂️
Ie: clickbait.
Rude to pricejack within an hour of someone noticing. Voted accordingly.
To even admit to it also!!!!
Seems really strange to comment and then cancel the offer on Amazon.
Despicable behaviour from an associated account.
Agreed.
Not defending trustpanda here, but I got the alert from camelcamelcamel at 5.51pm. So the deal was active for 2 hours before someone posted it on here.
Anyone complaining should set up an alert on 3camels for future deals.
My guess is trustpanda had a set number of keys to sell, and most were already gone by deal post at 8.15pm, and then the rest were cleaned out within minutes of the deal post.
Back on sale again for 70$
Not sure if it's worth posting though?
Now $61 for the 5C NFC
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08DHL1YDL
$59 for the 5 NFC

Is it true some websites will ask us to register 2 of yubikey during setup or it won't continue?
That's a pretty good price!
