The problem with hardware authenticators is compatibility across devices. One job I worked at a while back used Yubikeys, which were great... if you were logging in from your work PC. If you need to access your work email from your phone, that wasn't really an option without getting an exception made to your account, which required IT doing a manual reconfig of your account. And obviously they were reluctant to do that, because that just opened up more security risks that the Yubikeys were meant to prevent.

I mean that sounds more like a money problem to me. There all multiple different types of yubi keys that work for different types of USB and lightning as well as NFC if you want that. The only reason you wouldn't be able to use a yubikey on your phone is because you weren't supplied with a yubi key that works with phones and only the cheapest option with a regular USB A plug.

😂 but but. She actually did. I swear!

I mean. How would I go about proving that. I'm currently just imagining the look on her face when I tell her we need to take a picture with my lemmy username in it so randoms on the internet believe I have a hot girlfriend. lol We go to the beach this weekend though. soooooo I'll leave it up to you to remind me to do this lol

As a new Linux convert nerd with a hot girlfriend it does happen.

lol that's generally what I do. Sometimes I'm nice enough to copy and paste. We don't share a lot of accounts so it's not a huge issue.

I forgot how that show ended and convinced my SO to watch it. Imagine my absolute HORROR when that time came around and I realized what I had a just done to her. She was devastated.

Sadly that second but requires the other person to care enough to make an account and not just text you when they need the password 😂

I mean they can require it if they want. Apple would just bury the fact that it exists and would use something that's known to be shit. Idk how they could be forced to make iMessage cross platform.
