Yubikey to secure servers.. has anyone tried it?
-
@BrutalBirdie thank you !
For some reason I struggle with Cloudflare.
Must try harder - I'm sure it's within my grasp
@timconsidine No, I still have my domains at their respective registrars. You just edit the nameservers to cloudflare and you're set.
Cloudflare Nameservers To use Cloudflare, ensure your authoritative DNS servers, or nameservers have been changed. These are your assigned Cloudflare nameservers. Type Value NS sunny.ns.cloudflare.com NS terin.ns.cloudflare.comBTW, renewal prices have gone up. The .com was $8.57 and it has gone up to $9.15. Namesilo sent an email back in aug-sep(?) about the price increase so it must be ICANN mandated.

@jdaviescoates during the mess of figuring out how to get to that offer button, I created a new account and signed up for the offer just like you did. I received an email yesterday with the "decline" and telling me how to become eligible. The sad part is that I haven't received the coupon on my eligible account yet.

Update: I received my coupon email earlier today.
The email came from (add it to your whitelist):

I got my for Yubikeys today.
@BrutalBirdie Nice! I got mine yesterday (a day ahead of estimated delivery). I just got around to setting mine up. Vaultwarden (webauthn method) works great. I tried to secure my laptop login (W11 Home on a local account) but it's still logging me in without the Yubikey. The drive isn't encrypted so that might have something to do with it. I read that Bitlocker is only available on the Pro version, not Home. I can use Drive Encryption instead but it's asking to log into a Microsoft account. It's days like these when I curse the devs of my work related software for not supporting Linux!

How are you all carrying your Yubikey around?
-
@humptydumpty i'm just carrying mine on my keychain. They are very robust. No problems so far with my 9+ years old key.
Here is my workflow with yubikeys (from now on short yk).
I have three.
- 1x Mobile
- 1x Stationary
- 1x Backup
If a webpage offers FIDO support, great! But? Only 1 key? The site must have multi key support. Good examples are Github, Hetzner and may more.
A BAD Example is kraken.com! A Crypto trading platform which only supports ONE KEY!
I had a lengthy discussion with one of the support head members who promised me, multi keys will be available soon. The all known SOON
.If not, I use the TOTP feature from the yk.
This way I can always sync mobile and stationary and every quarter of the year I get my backup key from the bank vault and sync it as well.
This way I always a duo setup and 1x spare in case of absolute disaster.
I've been running this setup for quite some time and the vault key can be a bit annoying, but security over comfort.

@BrutalBirdie said in Yubikey to secure servers.. has anyone tried it?:
1x Mobile
1x Stationary
1x BackupI love the idea of having a stationary key. A Bio key attached to a USB extension cable hidden under the desk would be ideal for me

Is anyone using a Yubikey to secure a Windows 11 local account?
I upgraded to Pro, activated Bitlocker, and only have user/pass option active for signing in (no PIN, Windows Hello, etc.). It still signs me in without inserting a Yubikey. This is maddening!

@humptydumpty Windows no, my gaming windows only has password disk encryption but my linux has disk encryption 2fa support.
Sorry can't share anything on windows
