My laptop has a fingerprint scanner, but I haven't used it, since I bought the laptop in 2019.

And yesterday, while reading the "FreeBSD Handbook", I have a thought: "what if I set it up — I know the internal libfprint machinery, since I wrote an article about it for IBM portal in 2013, when I was a student — so it shouldn't be so hard?"

I installed frpintd and configured sudo to ask for fingerprint instead of password. And now my life is easier :dragnloaf:

Great question! "Need" probably isn't the right word. "Strongly desire" or "greatly prefer" would more accurate.

The reason is that I have lots of different devices with different port types. Some of my newer devices only have USB-C ports, while my older devices only have USB-A ports, and I'd really like to have just "one key to rule them all," so to speak.

I know that I could buy a little USB-A/C adapter dongle and keep that on the same keychain with the MFA key, but that introduces a degree of fragility that I'd prefer to avoid if possible.

That being said, if I found a hardware MFA key with all of the features I listed except for USB-C, then I'd happily accept the dongle compromise, because most of my devices (even the old ones) support Bluetooth, so I'd still have that as a backup option in case the dongle fails.

My current hardware MFA key is no longer receiving security patches, so I'm in the market for a new one.

Here's a list of features I'd like my new hardware MFA key to have, in order of priority:
1. USB-A
2. NFC
3. USB-C
4. Biometric
5. Bluetooth

My current MFA key has features 1-3 and 5. Is there a Holy Grail MFA key somewhere out there with all 5 features?

I'm already pretty familiar with YubiCo's product lineup, and while I love their security rating and build quality, none of them have more than 2 of the features listed above, so that kinda bums me out.

Anyway, let's hear your hardware MFA key recommendations!

Wer hätte gedacht, dass wir irgendwann nochmal die alten Geodreiecke aus unseren Mäppchen kramen!? 🤔Beim ZBIW-Seminar "Fingerprintverfahren und Signaturformel als Mittel zur Unterscheidung von Druckvarianten" bei uns in der USB wurden für die praktischen Übungen außerdem auch noch Lupe 🔎 und Taschenlampe 🔦 benötigt.
Ganz herzlichen Dank an den Dozenten Stefan Duhr, Experte für Handschriften und Historische Drucke der @stabi_berlin!

#google is #evil. They record our motion, our shopping habits, or voices, our spelling, our ethnicity, our walking pace our heart beat, our #porn #habits, our medications, our location, our eating habits, our sleeping patterns, our family tree, our friend and coworker contacts, our peeing and pooping and coughing patterns. All to sell you shit. To keep you and everyone you know #buying shit. And to do that they want your #face, your #fingerprint, your wallet and credit card info. You are #slave.
