<p>For a while now, I have wanted to own a <a href="https://www.yubico.com/">Yubikey</a>, but the price has always held me back since they cost a lot of money. After scouring ebay for a while, I finally found a good deal on one. I bought it, and now I’ve had the chance to mess around with it.</p>

<p>So far, I have been relatively happy with the Yubikey, but there is one concern I have: a lot of the firmware on the Yubikey is closed source, meaning someone like me cannot read the source code. While this may sound like something small to most, and I might seem overly cautious, but all I will say is how can you fully trust a product and its functionality if you can't see what it’s doing? Due to the Yubikey having closed source components, I have looked for some FOSS alternatives. Below, I have listed some of these products below:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://tillitis.se/">Tkey</a></li>
<li><a href="https://onlykey.io/">Onlykey</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.nitrokey.com/products/nitrokeys">Nitrokey</a></li>
<li><a href="https://solokeys.com/">Solokey</a></li>
</ul>
<p>There are two on that list that I am particually interested in, that being TKey and Nitrokey, this is because they are both well delevoped and have ways to set up with SSH so I can connect to servers way more securely, they also provide keys that have NFC so I can use it with my phone which is a big save.</p>
<p>So far the only thing I have really done with my Yubikey is set it up with KeepassXC, for some reason I cannot get my Google account working with it, and this is because I am under Linux, so I might need to install Windows or ChromeOS in a virtual machine and set it up, but even if then, I just have to hope it will still work on Linux because if not, well, that would be ass.</p>
<p>That is all I am going to look more into hardware keys because well they are awesome, but that is all thank you for reading!</p>
