      People: get a security key for your Gmail, Facebook, Insta, Github—whatever you want to protect. *Especially* if you are a high-level target. Regular 2FA, including authenticator, can be phished. SMS can be redirected. (Security key how-to on next tweet). https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/12/iranian-phishers-bypass-2fa-protections-offered-by-yahoo-mail-and-gmail/ …pic.twitter.com/khUUDSIUk5

      Here's how to install a security key for your Gmail. Get two keys, put the second one someplace safe or give to a friend/partner and have that be the backup. (They can't log on *just* with the security key: still need the password. It's just a backup). https://techsolidarity.org/resources/security_key_gmail.htm …

      We're fine using keys/badges to enter our houses, offices... Email security is one thing that should be taken seriously. It's a tiny extra step! Bank/credit card fraud is probably easier to deal with (it could be reversed). If your email is hacked, info can be siphoned quickly.

      A security key is a great stocking stuffer. 🎄🎅 https://www.amazon.com/Yubico-Security-Key-USB-Authentication/dp/B07BYSB7FK/ …

          Sooo... If regular person: use an iPhone or an iPad and secure *that* device. Apple's are secure devices, as these things go. Use TouchID/strong password. Use the Gmail app, for example (can't be phished). Don't need a security key there. https://twitter.com/Kgar_Horrible/status/1073581404414468096 …

          Otoh, if you're a really high-level target—investigating a hostile head of state or high-level official or powerful entities— Google has an advanced protection system with security keys for mobile devices. I don't yet recommend this for ordinary people. https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/ …

          An additional thought: the black Yubikeys (4 and 5) are also usable with e.g. Lastpass as the 2nd factor, as well as the U2F 2nd factor for GMail.

          Am I right to be suspicious of ordering these from Amazon given their mingling problems or is that a misplaced concern in this case?

          You can order directly from Yubikey.

          the holidays may have passed but i just now discovered Yubico offers a 20% discount on single and 10 packs of the standard security key for those with a valid college email address if you order direct from their website 🤑 https://www.yubico.com/why-yubico/for-education/ …
