Thank you OP!

Picked up 2 5c. I like the idea of using it for LastPass.

Quote from darkguy2 :
I use one of these on my LastPass account. Basically I have one complex password that I remember to login to LastPass then I have to use my Yubikey as the secondary authentication. From there I have unique passwords for all my accounts that are generated by LastPass. With the Yubikey it makes it extremely unlikely that my account will be breached. Even if someone gets my main password they still cannot get into the account.
Doesn't the key automatically unlock your LP vault without 2FA? So if someone takes your key and know your password etc, they can login immediately vs having to put password on your laptop? I mean how does this actually work that it adds security (i thought it was just convenience, and for something you use every single day, you have to get your keys and tap it etc..)? Could you help explain how you use this, I want to get it, but most PW managers don't let others login from new PC or new Location without full password +2FA anyway, so wouldn't this be redundant? I feel like it's redundant but I may be missing something here.

Quote from yanksno1 :
I know I should start using 2FA but losing it kinda scares me if I'm on the road traveling. Then I'd have to wait to get home to use backup codes. I can't use this in conjunction with a 2FA app (like Google or Authy) right? I think it's one or the other. I'd like to use one of these keys, then have a app as backup. Maybe someone could shed some light with what the best setup is for me.
Buy 3 Yubikeys.
1 that stays with your computer
1 thats you keep on your keychain/wallet
1 backup key that you keep safe

In anycase, you should never have just one Yubikey.

You need to put in the password then also use the key. This key is the 2fa vs mobile devices were you can sim swap and steal the 2fa. You still need to enter the password with the key

Heads up to everyone, but it seems Yubico has added a binding arbitration clause on Jan 1, 2021.
https://www.yubico.com/support/te...agreement/

You can "opt-out" of the arbitration clause within 30-days of your first purchase. It is in your interest to opt-out of the arbitration clause.

Quote :
you will also have the right to litigate any other Dispute if you provide Yubico with written notice of your desire to do so by email to [email protected] within 30 days following the date you first purchase or obtain the Software (such notice, an "Arbitration Opt-out Notice"). If you don't provide Yubico with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the 30-day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

this is about as cheap as they get, MAYBE 10% cheaper sometimes, or for the outdated models, but not really for these modern NFC and USB-C models.

Its ridiculous that every website needs an account these days, which only benefits them better tracking you. And users are forced to use complex device like this because these websites are unable to protect the personal info they collect.

Does it work with all websites? For example Sony only allows text based 2FA. Would it work in that scenario or does the website need to support app based 2FA for it to work?

If I buy a 5c NFC, I can just plug this into my PC via USB and it will authenticate lastpass. Is that correct? In my use case, does the NFC part even factor in??

Thanks

Imo you're better off with an authenticator and strong passwords
It may be more convenient but there is no way you are "better off" with anything other than a physical key.
