I am thinking about buying a pair of physical 2FA keys to protect my password manager and sensitive accounts. Which brand and model do you suggest?

If a model with open source firmware doesn’t come with big drawbacks, I’d prefer it, because I may learn from the source code and even contribute to it.

NFC is not necessary, and the keys should be USB-A. A fingerprint reader is welcome if the price doesn’t increase too much.

Thank you all in advance.

    I am fine with a cli, I use arch btw.

    How long have you had your nitrokey? Others are concerned about their durability…

    Have you ever had a yubikey?

      I’ve only had the nitrokey for a few months, so can’t comment on the durability yet.

      I did have a yubikey before. My experience with them wasn’t great, I often had to re-plug in the key because the touch to activate thing was pretty unreliable for me, often just not responding to touch at all.

      Though ultimately the reason I chose nitrokey is because I was just looking for a European alternative.
