I’m curious to know who here would use a security key? Or is a password manager or 2‑Factor app enough for you? As long as your password isn’t 123456 — I still can’t believe that’s the most common password :
I wonder if this would be better than trying to remember all those passwords and which one goes to what account
Danger long read ahead
Here’s some basic op sec.
1. Always use 2FA (persinally use it, and make sure it doesn’t use sms but tokens)
2. When it comes to banking or anything of personal importance don’t use a password manager.
Make a long phrase that is personal to you and easy to remember (enter it every day and after a week it’ll be in your muscle memory).
That together with 2FA is enough for 95% of the population.
That doesn’t free you from keeping a watch over your bank account. Always monitor it.
You brain is the best protection you have.
In case you want to use usb keys I’d advise you to have 2 for very important accounts. USB thumb drives have a bad habbit of breaking at the worst time so store your 2nd key at a safe and secure location.
SQRL login.
The issue is losing the key.
Didn’t known these gadgets existed
0:53 I keep forgetting my password so I change it every week
Sorry what If I accidentally lose my physical security key? I cant access my devices and accounts?
How would you go about getting into the accounts if you were to misplace the key?
you look so cute and beautiful expression in your face
Is it possible to use a security key to encrypt files on your computer also?
did it works with aol?
this video makes it seem like getting hacked is just something that will happen
THEN THE HACKERS WATCHING THIS HAHAHA THEY SAID ARE YOU KIDDNG????
You should work for disneyland
I’m upgrading to yubikeys by summer
The hackers can just clone the key 😂
Does this go through airport without the passwords getting erased cause that might be a major problem
Thanks so much for this video! I was looking for more information online regarding the Twitter security keys, how they worked & where I could get one. Question — do these physical security keys ever expire, is a new security key needed each time, for when you log-in or what?
Which personal security device is support by Bank of America? Yubi says their devices are not.
Wouldnt recommend the wireless keys the wireless part may create a vulnerability to getting ur key hacked and if they got ur key copy and find your password it might be possible to hack into your accounts but ofcourse this is a very rare case as theyd have to be near you while u use the key
Most accounts do not have two factor authentication simply because are are just lazy, that is the reason you can hack them with Feebhax. You may find it on Google

Do not believe these fake videos! All of them are just trying to scam you somehow… If you’re looking to hack somebody’s facebook account, then simply try using Feebhax, it’s the only working hack. You’ll find it on google… 🙂
THIS IS FAKE!!! I have wasted my time on 100s of fake hack tools. Fortunately, there is one that actually did the trick. It’s known as Facebook Password Sniper and you may find it on google 🙂
I have tested each and every hack tool and only Facebook Password Sniper worked for me. You can look for it on google.
Nice
Feebhax is real, every other program is a scam. You can find it on Google!
Great video …please also provide guidance for when the security key is lost

Much needed info. Thanks very much. I consider myself militant about my passwords and use 2F, but realize it’s time to upgrade to a key.
These keys are great but I feel like they need a seed words for recovery like crypto wallets. Carrying this around like your phone means you might lose it. Imaging losing the key and your phone simultaneous because you left your bag somewhere.
you dont NEED a 50 dollar key, i know how to make a usb drive lock a file until inserted
will tell at 5 likes
Do you know if consumers can use the 5C FIPS series keys? I’m wondering if the regular 5 NFC series differs from the 5 FIPS series other than the added level of security on the FIPS. I ask because I’m wondering if let’s say you want to secure your gmail account with the regular 5 series, can you also do it with the 5 FIPS series? Or are most accounts the average user utilizes only compatible with the regular 5 series and not the FIPS series? If I can still use the FIPS series that has government level 3 encryption vs. the regular 5 series, which only has level 1 encryption, than I’d rather just make the investment and pay slightly more for the FIPS version and get added security but I’m not sure if it’s ONLY for government use or can regular consumers use it to and for the most part it would still function like the regular 5 series but with the added protection? Thanks for making your content, it’s valuable in today’s digital world 👍❗

2:25 I avoid that problem. I NEVER log into sensitive accounts by first finding the page with a google search, clicking a link or even typing in a URL manually. No one can trick me with similar urls or looking pages. I use a password manager that also stores the url of the login page. I access all log in pages by ONLY clicking on the url linked INSIDE my password manager.
HEY HELLO 👋. HEY WERE CAN YOU GET A SECURITY KEY?
This seems like overhyped fear mongering to me. I use bitwarden, and generate a unique password for every website I sign up for (actually quicker than typing one in). I also use a burner email for any flog websites I have to sign up for I.e protools free plugins, I had to sign up to about 10 websites which all have crappy security. They get the burner email. Anything more important gets a protonmail account with a very strong password. My most important passwords aren’t even kept in bitwarden either. They’re in my head and a few other spots. Way more practical than some usb key that only works on some websites
Budol is real
Since Facebook has censored everyone with a political opinion I will need to get one of these… I see where everyone is getting shut out right now.
Hw can I get it
My password is so annoying if someone is watching me he also can’t know it
2 yrs ago and this video still as timely as ever Congrats CNET
Unless the key replaces the password, which it doesnt, then this does not help remember those 80+ passwords at all, infact this is just adding a layer of things to do. Really is time tech just allowed log in to all sites with fingerprints.
Imagine you devices are stolen together with this key device, now what 😅
I’ve used a password manager for quite a while now as well as 2FA. I just purchased my 2 Yubikeys a few months ago. iPhones require TWO keys to use that. So far, so good.
