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?

      @urshanabi Yubikeys support some protocols we don’t, including the proprietary YubicoOTP. They also have support for more algorithms. On the other end the NK3 has support for password and TOTP storage for many credentials, while Yubikeys are much more limited on that front.
