  • Some people ask if yubikey has a wide support, and the answer is yes, not only because there are a lot of services that natively support youbikey, but also you can use your key to store TOTP seeds.
    But before using your key, do not forget to setup everything as I describe in previous video • I bought a Yubikey now...

    You can setup the TOTP completely on you desktop. The app reads the qr-code directly.

      Yes is the subject of a future video, usually people find more convenient using cellphone but you can use ykman.exe directly from your command line to save a seed into the key. Actually you can do pretty much everything from the command line :).

    3:46 why save a image? and not the CODE!!! ("I can't scan the bar code" is better) I think the code is better than the QR image, what do you think?

    • @codewrecks
      @codewrecks  Před rokem

      You are absolutely right, you can save the code. I save the image because if I loose the key I open my keepass archive, extract all qr and quickly scan wit cellphone camera

      Scrcpy, super simple to setup and to use github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy it was suggested to me by a friend.

    is this only for the Yubikey 5, or can I use this for Yubikey Security key?
    What is the difference please?

    • @codewrecks
      @codewrecks  Před rokem +1

      It should work without prolem, but unfortunately I have all yubikey 5 so I cannot confirm.

    Why do you save the secret? If someone has access to it your 2FA is gone. Isn't it better to setup 2 or more Keys and don't save the secret?

    • @codewrecks
      @codewrecks  Před rokem

      It is an old habit from where I only used phone application. If you save the secret in two keys it is usually enough. In the case you lost BOTH keys having a local keepass archive with 2FA can save your day. I think that there are never too much backup of important data.
      I usually use a local backupped Keepass archive, protected by a password and a key file.

    Whats the SID Code at 6:55 & 7:44. Difficult pronunciation.
    Technically you are very good, but its difficult to understand the bits that matter.
    May I suggest that you make the effort to pronounce all technical words slowly & clearly. Please.
    When you use abbreviations please explain what the abbreviation means, slowly & clearly. Please.
    You can hear the pronunciation in various Apps.
    Thanks for your effort.

      Sorry, speaking english as a second language I can undestand that it can be difficult to understand especially for abbreviation. In the future I can simply write it down (maybe using a slide that will make everythign clearer)

      @codewrecks  Před 4 měsíci

      Using key to login in Windows 10 is a thing that I never got it right for a computer that is not connected to Azure Active Directory. The reason is that for a local account you can always enter with your password, and I had also problem in configuring in a couple of computer with windows hello :(. Actually I gave up trying to use it to log on my windows 10 .
