I rarely use my smartphone and find it a bit annoying to have to use it for 2FA through apps. I wish to get physical passkeys that will allow me to login to my laptop.

I have heard of YubiKey although I haven’t given it any serious consideration since it is closed source. (My super-tin-foiled friend who introduced me to this world of privacy taught me to never trust a closed-source solution… _long _ story).

Are there any FLOSS versions of Yubikey? Can they be used to log into a Linux machine? Or for banking?

    I use Solokeys. Didn’t know they were defunct. I just bought another from then a month or so ago. I use it for MFA, ssh, and sudo, and I’m trying to config Kubuntu login screen to require solokey but no luck yet.

    I like solokeys, but the one I recently bought has NFC and, technically, my pixel7 running GraphenreOS can detect the device, but it doesn’t work. Many people reported this issue. In my experience, NFC is non-functional.
