My camera shoots fascists<p>Free USB-A Yubikeys. </p><p>A friend who writes on security topics was given a box of these several years ago to give away and gave me a handful to give to my friends 💁 but for the life of me, I couldn&#39;t get anyone to care enough to take them 🤦‍♂️ so they&#39;ve been sitting in my drawer for almost 4 years. Yubico says they&#39;re still secure and useable.</p><p>DM me with a mailing address and I&#39;ll send two to you. I&#39;ve got 18 available. I&#39;ll update this when they&#39;re spoken for. For newer devices, a USB-A to USB-C adapter is necessary. Only some adapter brands work. I use an Anker brand. Yubico has a list of other known-to-work adapters here: <a href="https://support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016614860-Using-a-YubiKey-with-USB-C-Adapters" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">support.yubico.com/hc/en-us/ar</span><span class="invisible">ticles/360016614860-Using-a-YubiKey-with-USB-C-Adapters</span></a></p><p>If you already use a key (yay), one of these can be a backup. Otherwise, you should use two, with one kept in a safe place should you lose your main one. </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DataSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DataSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SecurityKey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SecurityKey</span></a></p>
Rick Klau<p>Just tried to add my <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Yubikey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Yubikey</span></a> 5ci (the USB-C / lightning <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/securitykey" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>securitykey</span></a>) to my Apple ID now that Apple supports security keys. When I go to add the key, I get prompted for a PIN – which I&#39;ve never set on this security key (afaik). Anyone know what&#39;s going on?</p>
